A photograph of a stage talk in a hall. A seated man in saffron-orange robes, long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a large gold-and-red throne before a backdrop of a Hindu temple mandapa with a deity murti. Around him on the stage, several people in white dhoti and saffron shawls sit on the floor, some with hands folded, and young girls in white and orange sit nearby. Two men in white with bare upper bodies sit at a low table with a microphone at left. A video camera on a tripod and a monitor stand in the foreground, and a shaved-headed audience in white sits below the stage. The seated central figure's distinctive orange robes, long hair and mala fit the appearance cues, so he is labelled a probable identification.

A large backdrop shows a temple-style image of two deities seated together, with a crown and garlands visible. Two priests in white dhotis with orange shawls sit at left, one chanting near a microphone, while women in white and yellow saris attend beside the throne. Cameras on tripods face the stage, and a large audience sits on the floor in the foreground, including a monk in orange at centre. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the probable identity, with orange robe, long hair and rudraksha mala as cues, though he is presented on the throne. Several people in the audience are partly visible; the hall holds a sizeable seated audience.2010-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 24 20102010-10-24 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesA stage event in a hall with blue draped curtains and tall banners with geometric patterns.

A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at centre, with a garlanded deity backdrop behind him. In front of the stage, about ten people in white and yellow saris and white dhotis sit on an orange mat, some holding books or small items, while a young priest in white with a shaved head and horizontal tilak on the left speaks into a microphone. A large orange-draped table and a potted decoration sit at the right of the stage. The seated figure in orange could be a person, wearing saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a sitting-throne position, though his face is too small to confirm; the other figures are devotees and priests.2010-10-23 +1 copiesOctober 26 20102010-10-26 +1 copiesA seated figure in orange robes and a dark rudraksha mala sits on a red-cushioned golden throne on a raised platform, with long hair falling past the shoulders and gold-trimmed ornaments.
