On the right, a bearded man in an orange robe and glasses sits cross-legged on a mat, one hand raised near his ear.

He wears an orange shawl over a red sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style cloth, and holds a long yellow scroll with printed text. He sits on a white-draped seat with a maroon quilted cushion, on a green carpet with a red mat. Behind him hang red and yellow striped drapes, a row of brass kalasha pots on bamboo poles, and a tray of yellow marigold flowers. On a side table sit a water bottle, a small framed photo, and offerings. The setting suggests a discourse or darshan hall. The man is a person by appearance cues: an orange robe and shawl, the presentation of a teacher, and a seated discourse setting.2007-12-21February 10 20082008-02-10A seated figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and orange shawl with long dark hair swept back sits cross-legged on a white-draped throne-style chair in front of a dark red curtain. Rudraksha beads hang across the chest. A small wooden footstool sits before the throne, a vase of white and red flowers stands on a white-covered table at left, and a microphone stand is positioned at right. Two seated listeners in orange wear headphones in the foreground, as at a conference or convention. The figure is described as a probable Swamiji by appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, while the page attributes the event to a Mission Training Convention. Around ten to twenty people are visible in total.2008-04-16December 21 20072007-12-21A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with short dark hair, sits on a white-draped cushion on a low raised stage and speaks into a microphone during a session. Behind him hangs a framed portrait garlanded with a flower necklace, and a row of brass kalasha-style pots lines the wall above the stage with orange cloth and tassels. A woman in orange sits at a side table with water bottles. A seated audience of women in white fills the foreground, their backs toward the camera, with several visible heads and braids. The setting is an indoor hall with orange drapes and ritual brass lamps on the stage. The speaker's appearance is consistent with a person: saffron robe and an orange shawl-like wrap, with no crown or rudraksha visible, so identity remains uncertain.2008-06-22
