Photograph of a satsang stage with a man in white dhoti and shawl leaning forward to offer a small object to a seated figure on a large gold ornate throne with carved back. The seated figure wears an orange-red robe, a red-and-white flower garland and a dark rudraksha-style necklace, and holds his hand out toward an orange-draped table bearing a red container and flowers. Behind them stand a man in a red-and-gold robe and a man in white with a white tilak, against maroon velvet drapes, with a white floor fan at left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: long swept-back hair, orange saffron robe, garland and ornate throne cues are visible, so identity is only an appearance-based candidate.

A man seated on a large gold ornate throne, wearing saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a flower garland, bare-shouldered, smiles broadly and reaches out. Across from him a young man in a white embroidered kurta hands over or receives a small metal bowl. Behind the throne a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala smiles, and at left two women in orange saris and white headbands laugh. An orange-draped table holds small bowls, flowers, a glass jar and a water bottle, and a white air cooler and a fan stand nearby. The seated man has distinctive visible cues, so this is.2013-05-28 +2 copiesA kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with short grey-flecked hair and a stubbled beard, extends cupped hands toward a seated figure on a gold-trimmed red throne. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long swept-back black hair style, a white horizontal tilak on the forehead and a dark rudraksha mala with a gold-toned necklace. The seated figure hands a small white object into the man's palms. Standing behind them are devotees in white, including a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a saffron-trimmed chain, with hands folded. Gold-framed red cushions and a dark-brown wooden floor complete the setting. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron shawl, swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, receiving the devotee's kneeling offering.2012-05-14 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremony on a stage with dark red velvet drapes.

Beside him a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border bends forward, offering white cloth or flowers from his hands. A tall gold oil lamp stands beside the throne.

He smiles broadly while raising one hand to his cheek and extending the other arm to hand a small white item to a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans who stands before the orange-draped table. Behind them a bald man in orange robes with a beaded mala stands smiling. The table holds fruit, flowers, small bowls and a water bottle. Red velvet drapes hang behind, with a standing fan at left. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the throne and wearing the garland and mala.2013-05-28 +2 copiesA seated man in orange-brown robes and an orange shawl sits on an ornate gilded throne beneath a red and orange canopy, with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and a long dark hair knot. He extends his hand to a bald-headed devotee in a white dhoti and shawl who bends forward and receives or offers a folded red cloth. Silver tridents stand beside the throne, a decorated red-and-gold banner hangs in the background, and several people in orange and red garments stand behind them. Draped flower garlands hang on the left. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan setting. Swamiji (probable) appears in the seated figure: long swept-back hair, an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold armband, with the throne and tridents as his setting.2013-02-08
