Photo of a group meditation session in a red-walled hall with a terracotta carved pillar at left and potted plants behind. A standing figure at right wears an orange turban, orange robe, and red-orange shawl with beaded necklaces, arms raised near the head, facing the seated group. Around 20 seated participants, many in orange or saffron shawls, have their hands pressed over their eyes in a closed-eyed meditative gesture. One man in an orange t-shirt printed with a portrait sits behind them. A probable Swamiji figure stands at right in the orange turban and robes, with rudraksha beads and ceremonial necklaces. Yellow flowers and a small candle set rest on a red cloth in front of the standing figure.

Many devotees in orange and saffron shawls sit on the floor, some with hands raised or pressed to their heads, and a tripod-mounted camera stands at right. A man in white stands near a speaker at back. The robes and turban are orange and the setting suggests a satsang or talk. The teacher matches a Swamiji (probable) appearance through orange clothing, a turban and a central seated position on the platform, so the identity is probable rather than confirmed.2011-07-29Photo of a group meditation session in a red-walled room with a red patterned floor covering. A man seated on a white cushion at right wears orange robes, a red top, a leopard-print waist sash and a long hair bun, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Around him about a dozen participants sit cross-legged on the floor wearing orange shawls and saffron scarves, several pressing a finger to a nostril in a breathing practice.

In the foreground, a man with long dark hair, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a vibhuti mark on his forehead sits on an ornate orange-cushioned throne, smiling, with a silver trident beside him. Around him, many devotees in white and saffron/orange clothes sit with both hands resting on their heads in a group posture, with wrists and arms crossing overhead. Most faces are partially hidden by the raised arms. Several people wear beaded necklaces and gold-coloured bangles. The scene suggests a group practice led from the throne. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, so appearance is a probable match to a person but cues are not fully certain from this view.2014-12-28July 16 20152015-07-16A group of people in an indoor room with a deep red wall perform a hand gesture with palms covering their eyes and fingers at the forehead.
