Courtyard session in an ornate red-walled outdoor space with a carved wooden canopy, hanging brass bells and lamps, and a bronze Nataraja dancing within a circular frame. A bearded man with a shaved head, wearing a rust-brown robe and holding a microphone, sits cross-legged on a pink cushioned seat with a leopard-print pillow and a tray of food before him. Around him sit about a dozen young people in orange and saffron clothing with beaded necklaces, several in orange robes and one woman in a yellow and purple sari with a long braid. A woman in a red top stands at the right edge, and a pink-robed deity figure is visible at the left.

A courtyard session in an open ashram veranda with red-washed walls and hanging brass bells and oil lamps. A bearded man in a rust-brown sannyasi cloth sits on a raised silver-framed couch holding a microphone, with a small plate in front of him. Around him sit a group of young people in orange and saffron clothes with rudraksha beads, along with a woman in a yellow and purple sari with a long braid at the lower right. A bronze Nataraja in a circular frame hangs on the wall, and a brass trident stands at the left. The bearded man is an appearance-based candidate matching the ashram context, but his face and features cannot be confirmed from the image, so the identity is uncertain.2017-02-17 +1 copiesA courtyard session under a carved wooden canopy with a brass bell and hanging lamps. A bearded man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a silver-carved couch with a leopard-print cushion, holding a microphone and a plate of food, and speaks to a seated group. Around him, children and young adults in orange and saffron clothing, with rudraksha beads and some in a purple and yellow saree, listen attentively. Behind them stands a bronze Nataraja statue within a flame halo, and a red-walled backdrop with a plant and a table holding books. Whether the seated man is a person is uncertain from appearance alone; he is shown on a bench-throne with a microphone, and the caption places a meal with Balasants on this event, but appearance cues are limited.2017-02-17A courtyard session in a pink-walled ashram courtyard under a carved wooden canopy with hanging brass bells and lamps.
