A seated figure in a red and gold robe with a red turban and beaded garland sits on an ornate gold-framed throne with red cushions, a central focal point. Around him, a crowd of women in salwar kameez and saris, many with hair in plaits or buns, sit on the floor facing the throne and some clap. Men in white kurta and a man in a maroon vest move near the front, one holding a camera. A tripod-mounted video camera stands at right beside a framed portrait.

November 29 20132013-11-29A seated audience of many devotees faces a central golden throne draped with a patterned cloth in a red-walled hall decorated with marigold garlands. A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on the throne with a red cushion behind him, and his appearance matches the page's Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial adornment, so the identity is probable from appearance cues. Devotees sit on green mats, including women in pink, blue, saris and orange shawls and men in white shirts. To the right, a man in an orange dhoti kneels near a framed portrait, and a camera on a tripod records the event. A framed picture of a woman and a deity image hang on the walls.2013-11-29 +1 copiesA photograph of a satsang in a red-walled hall with many devotees seated on the floor facing a central figure. A person in red and gold robes with a red turban and a red-and-white garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at the back centre; the throne has a patterned cloth and a red cushion. In front of the throne a standing person in white clothes and a red shawl gestures toward the seated devotees, and a kneeling person in white sits to the right beside a framed portrait with a red garland. Devotees wear white, saffron, red, pink, blue and purple saris and kurtas, many seated cross-legged on green mats. Yellow and orange checked curtains, marigold garlands and a camera on a tripod are visible. The seated figure on the throne appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, red robes and garlanded throne, though the appearance is not certain.2013-11-29 +1 copiesNovember 29 20132013-11-29A photograph of a satsang hall with red-painted walls, orange and yellow checked curtains and marigold garlands draped on the windows and around a central seat.

Several women in saris and salwars sit with their backs to the camera in the foreground, with a monitor and a bearded man in an orange shawl and a woman in red at the sides. About a dozen people are visible.2013-11-29 +1 copiesMay 20 20162016-05-20April 17 20162016-04-17A photograph of a large hall seen from behind a seated audience of devotees on the floor, facing a stage.
