A bearded man with long swept-back hair sits barefoot on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions before red drapes, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a white flower garland and a gold necklace, with arms spread open in a welcoming gesture. He is a person candidate by appearance cues (long hair, saffron robe, ceremonial gold necklace, garland), seated in the role of the honoured presider. Around him, a man with long dreadlocks and a white dhoti with gold border holds a tray, a man in white dhoti bows low at the throne's base, and women in blue, purple and orange saris kneel and bow nearby, offering devotion.

He wears a rust-red saffron-toned robe, a gold necklace and a long white-and-pink flower garland, with a vertical tilak on his forehead and a broad smile. Around the throne, several people in white and yellow-bordered dhotis or saris and blue and purple saris bend in toward him, touching and adjusting his garland and robe as a devotional honouring. The setting suggests a formal satsang or ceremony. One seated figure in a rust robe with an ornate throne and garland, honoured by attendants, is a candidate for a person, though the appearance cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.2017-11-17May 30 20182018-05-30December 18 20162016-12-18A photograph of a ceremonial darshan on a stage. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-red shawl and rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, hands joined in greeting and smiling. A bald man in white kneels and bows low at his feet on a red cloth. To the right, a woman in a red sari with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on the red cloth with hands folded. A silver trident and a kalasha-like lion-footed throne base are visible, with a painted cloudy sky backdrop showing a deity murti. The seated man on the throne is a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, saffron-red shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne setting.2018-05-04May 31 20182018-05-31November 17 20172017-11-17November 17 20172017-11-17A man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne at a temple-style hall, wearing a rust-orange draped garment, multiple rudraksha bead strands across the chest and waist, gold armbands and a gold necklace, with a white tilak mark and long dark hair.
