A bearded man with long, swept-back hair sits on an ornate red and gold throne, dressed in a saffron-orange robe, holding a small cup or bowl in his hands. A hand offers him a spoon from the right side of the frame, while a small wooden side table stands in front of him. A blurred figure in the lower right corner and a stage light flare create a warm, hazy atmosphere. The setting appears to be an evening satsang or ritual gathering. A white fan with a grille is visible to the right.

September 11 20162016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11Night-time photo of a seated man in a maroon-red robe on an ornate gilded and red-cushioned throne, holding a lit camphor or oil flame on a brass plate while looking down at it. A brass trident (trishul) stands behind him, and a second person in orange-gold clothing and a rudraksha mala stands at right, partly visible, presenting or tending the flame. Another person in white sits in the background beside a white appliance. Warm lens flare and smoke from the flame. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity from the cues visible here, so role is given as a seated priest or presider performing an aarti with a flame. The page does not indicate a person is present at this event.2016-09-11A man with long dark hair and a trimmed beard sits smiling on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-red robe and a rudraksha-style brown beaded mala draped over his shoulders, with a gold chain at his neck and red-and-white wrist threads. He holds a small microphone in one hand and rests the other on an orange cloth. In front of him is a silver tray with green leaves, a small silver bowl and a silver urn. Behind him a person in a white dhoti with a decorated border stands near golden drapes and a potted plant.2016-07-12A man with long dreadlocks and a short beard sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, eyes lowered, hands resting on his forearms. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment, rudraksha mala beads, a gold chain, and orange beaded armbands and wrist bands. A white forehead marking with a red tilak is visible, and a small microphone is clipped near his face. A small white side table holds a brass item beside the throne.

Behind him hang orange and gold drapes and a brass lamp stand with an oil lamp, with green plants at his side. A partly visible attendant in white clothing stands at the right edge.
