Photo of a padapuja ritual in a temple-like room with gold-and-red decor. A man seated on an ornate gold throne wears a maroon turban, purple dhoti, orange-red shawl, gold necklace and gold armbands, while his bare feet rest on a silver tray. Devotees sit on the floor around the tray: a man in a white shirt with a lanyard, a woman in a green-and-blue sari and glasses, a woman in orange, and others in dark clothing, several with hands folded in prayer. A man in white with a tilak on his forehead holds a microphone. Brass lamps with flames, apples, flowers and garlands fill the foreground and the background, with a gold swan figure and a tablet displaying text on a small table. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with Swamiji (probable) given the turban, ornate clothing and throne, though the identification is uncertain.

November 30 20112011-11-30A padapuja ritual in a red-curtained hall. A seated figure in an orange saree with long dark hair and a gold-beaded necklace sits on an ornate wooden throne with gilded lion-head armrests, her bare feet resting on a patterned cloth. Several devotees kneel before her: a bald man in a white shirt with a red scarf, a woman in a green saree with a red blouse, a woman in a blue and white saree with a red scarf, and a woman with curly light hair in a white top and orange saree. They are washing her feet from metal bowls. Behind them, rows of red theatre seats. A bowl of red flowers sits on the left. A white-clad devotee is partly visible at the bottom edge.2012-12-12August 17 20142014-08-17 +1 copiesDecember 02 20112011-12-02February 24 20112011-02-24May 11 20142014-05-11June 29 20162016-06-29A photograph of a satsang in a hall with red curtains and a framed portrait on the back wall. On the right, a man in an orange turban, orange robe and gold armband sits on a red and gold throne, gesturing as he speaks into a microphone. Before him, devotees sit on the floor around a gold tray with plates and offerings. A white-clad man with a white forehead mark sits with palms pressed together, and women in white, orange and green saris listen. A brass oil lamp stands on a side table beside a framed certificate and red and white flower garlands. Swamiji (probable) is the orange-turbaned speaker on the throne, identified by a turban, saffron clothing and gold armband.2011-09-17April 30 20162016-04-30August 31 20112011-08-31A seated figure in a red-brown robe with a rust-orange shawl and a rudraksha-style beaded mala sits on an ornate red and gold throne with a gilded lion statue beside it. The figure wears a gold crown and an armband. Seated devotees on the floor in front, several in white, face the throne, with plates of flowers and fruit set on a striped cloth. A video camera on a tripod and a large portrait of a smiling figure on a green background appear behind. Swamiji (probable): the throned figure has long swept-back hair, a crown, saffron-orange clothing and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's identification.2013-12-13May 11 20142014-05-11
