Indoor satsang hall under fluorescent ceiling lights. A man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a red-cushioned golden throne in the centre, hands resting on his lap, with a marigold garland on the armrest. Two devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in front, one in a peach shirt and one in white, both with palms joined. On the left, a figure in orange with a turban sits on another golden throne, and a person in white sits by the side. On the right, a deity murti in orange and gold stands on a golden pedestal, beside a jewelled female murti. A red and blue backdrop with temple-like motifs hangs behind, with an oil lamp and brass items on the floor.

February 08 20122012-02-08September 16 20122012-09-16September 13 20122012-09-13A seated figure in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in front of a large painted temple backdrop with pillars and deity figures. Devotees in white and cream clothes sit on the floor with hands joined in namaskar, some wearing green and yellow shawls. Brass plates with fruit and offerings rest on a rug before the throne. The scene resembles a satsang or darshan setting. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with distinctive rudraksha adornments, which is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).2010-10-20April 26 20162016-04-26A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) under a gold canopy, garlanded with multicoloured flower garlands. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe, an orange turban, and a rudraksha mala, and makes a raised blessing gesture. Around the throne, several people in white dhotis and white saris stand or kneel; one kneeling man in white attends the throne base, and a woman in a red-bordered sari kneels at the front. Gold ceremonial fans and staffs stand on either side, with a temple-arch backdrop and a red carpet beneath. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are the distinguishing cues on the seated central figure, shown in a throne-and-darshan setting.2010-11-05A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with red velvet cushions, in front of a temple-style backdrop with carved pillars and painted deity figures. Several devotees sit cross-legged on the floor facing him: a woman in a green-bordered white sari on the left, a woman with blonde hair in a cream sari, a bald man in white dhoti with a red-striped shawl in the centre, a woman in a beige sari on the right, and an older man in a yellow shawl at far right. Brass oil lamps stand on the side pedestals. The seated figure, with his crown-like hair, saffron robe and mala, is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the teaching seat.2010-10-20November 05 20102010-11-05A photograph of a central figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a large gold arched backrest, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala draped over the chest, hands pressed together in anjali. Two devotees sit on the floor in front: a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and upper cloth with hands folded, and a woman in orange-red sari with her head bowed. A tall brass oil lamp stands at left beside beaded curtains, and the throne base is decorated with pink and white flowers.2011-02-28October 14 20122012-10-14A stage in a temple-style hall with a deep maroon velvet curtain behind a gold-framed red-cushioned throne (peetha). A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits with hands pressed together in namaskara, flanked by two kneeling attendants in saffron and white, one with shaved head in orange and one in white with hands joined. To the right, a gold-framed arch holds two deity murtis draped with multicolour garlands, one in yellow and one in red garments. A red carpeted dais and a small potted plant sit in front, with ceiling spotlights and pedestal fans visible.2013-07-19A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala sits eyes-closed with hands folded on a richly carved gold throne with red cushions, in front of a painted temple backdrop with pillars and a deity image. Around him, devotees in white traditional dress with yellow sashes sit on the floor with palms joined in prayer, some with shaved heads, near brass vessels and lamps on the foreground. The seated figure's appearance and distinctive robe and mala cues are consistent with a person presiding over a satsang, though this is an appearance-based label only. A gold-trimmed side table holds fruit and offerings.2010-10-22 +2 copies
