A photograph of a satsang or discourse on a raised stage hung with dark blue drapery. A central figure sits on a gold and red ornate throne decorated with marigold and white flower garlands and a floral canopy, wearing a red long-sleeved robe, a cream dhoti and a cream turban, with long hair, gesturing with both hands. Two seated devotees in saffron and cream flank the throne; a younger attendant in white with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala kneels beside it. Two people in white kneel at the front, and a standing attendant in white with folded hands is at right. Ornate blue and orange umbrellas with Dhyanapeetha lettering and a peacock-feather fan stand on either side. A white mattress-like seat lies before the throne.

Photograph of a stage event: a man in a red and gold silk kurta with white dhoti and a cream turban sits on a gold ornate throne with a red cushioned back, decorated with marigold and jasmine garlands and a flower canopy above. Before the throne, a man in white kneels on a white-draped platform, reaching toward the seated figure.

Attendants in white and saffron stand on the sides, two beneath patterned umbrellas, and several people in white sit on the lower steps. A white cloth covers the platform, and a decorative pillar with painted animals frames the scene. The figure on the throne appears to be a person, identified by his turban, red-gold robe and throne setting; the central figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2008-01-07A seated figure in a red-and-cream robe and a cream turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, decorated with garlands of marigold and white flowers and topped by a flower-decorated umbrella. He holds his palms together in namaskar, with a flower garland draped over his lap. Before the throne, a white-covered platform is scattered with rose petals.

He wears a cream turban, a red kurta with gold collar, and a vermilion mark on his forehead. Before him a man in white dhoti and shirt kneels with palms pressed together, his hand resting on the seated man's knee, while the seated figure's hand touches his head.

He wears a cream turban, a red-maroon sherwani-style garment with gold trim, a multicolour rose and marigold garland, and a cream dhoti. A kneeling devotee in white dhoti and an orange shawl presses palms together in namaskar before him, while a standing attendant in white with an orange shawl smiles at the side. A man in white stands at the left edge; a white cloth covers the platform with scattered rose petals. The throne and devotee suggest a seated honouring ceremony; the seated man's appearance does not meet the threshold for a person identification.2008-01-07A photograph of a ceremonial scene on a stage with dark drapes.

A white-draped platform lies in front, with marigold and rose petals scattered at the base of the throne. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the central throne, identified by the turban, long hair and ornate red-and-gold ceremonial dress.2008-01-07A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a flower-decorated canopy, wearing a cream turban, a red-maroon kurta-style jacket and cream striped dhoti, with a large multicolour rose and marigold garland.
