Women in white sarees with rudraksha malas sit at left, one wearing a kumkum/vibhuti marked forehead, and a man in orange garment sits behind them.

A man seated on the ornate throne wears a gold crown and a maroon-red dhoti-style garment, with a long white and pink flower garland draped across his chest. He holds a silver ceremonial staff with a serpent-shaped top and a small silver rod. Beside him, two women kneel at a golden table with silver offering bowls and flower petals, while a third woman in a red blouse and beads sits behind them. Other ritual items visible include hanging brass bells and oil lamps, a tripod camera, and a pink flower arrangement on the table. The appearance-based label is a person, identified by the gold crown, the swept-back styling and the throne with gold and leopard-skin decor. The page excerpt describes a 2017 satsang, but nothing in the image itself names an event.2017-08-08 +2 copiesAugust 08 20172017-08-08A man seated on an ornate gold throne draped with a leopard-print and tiger-striped cloth, wearing a gold crown, a pink and white flower garland, and a rust-red dhoti-style garment, with bare feet. He smiles toward a small group of women seated on the floor at left, one in a white sari with a rudraksha mala, another in white with gold jewelry. Silver plates hold flowers and offerings on a low golden table in the foreground, and a silver standing staff with a white cord stands beside the throne. Brass oil lamps and bells hang from the ceiling above, and a video camera on a tripod is at left. The setting is a dark room with string lights. The man has long swept-back hair and a crown, but the visible cues are limited to crown, garland and throne, so the identity is uncertain.2017-08-08 +1 copiesAugust 09 20172017-08-09 +1 copiesAugust 09 20172017-08-09 +1 copiesJuly 28 20172017-07-28A seated man in a maroon-red robe and a golden crown, wearing a pink and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style orange-beaded wrist band, sits on an ornate golden throne with gilded lion heads and a leopard-print cushion. He faces a row of women seated on the floor before silver thali trays heaped with flowers, fruit and lit oil lamps. Several women wear white and saffron saris, and one holds a small object. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells decorate the top left, with a black wall and wall-mounted air conditioner behind. This appears to be a puja ritual in progress, with a person seated on the throne receiving the offerings, though his appearance is only partly visible.2017-07-07July 28 20172017-07-28July 28 20172017-07-28June 23 20172017-06-23
