A seated speaker in orange-red robes sits on an ornate golden throne with carved gold pillars, flower garlands and a maroon drape behind him, on a raised white stage. Two camera tripods and a cameraman stand at the stage edge, and a standing attendant in white is at right. Rows of seated audience members in white shirts and mixed clothing face the stage, with a few in saffron. A projection screen and a monitor show the event at left and right. A sign on the stage reads Photography in front of the stage is not allowed. The speaker's appearance is too distant to confirm identity, so the figure is recorded as unsure.2014-07-06July 05 20142014-07-05July 05 20142014-07-05Indoor satsang hall with a raised stage set with a gold-and-white throne and gilded lion-form armrests. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on the throne at centre, with a deity murti and framed garlanded portraits flanking him, and gold-framed garlands above. Dozens of devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in white and cream saris and dhotis, some in green and purple, facing the stage. Camera tripods, a rear projection screen and a kalasha-like gold canopy complete the scene. The seated figure in saffron robes could be a person, given the saffron clothing and central throne placement, though the face is too small to confirm.2010-11-12A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions on a raised stage, backed by dark blue drapes and hanging saffron-and-patterned banners. A seated audience of many people in white and pastel clothing faces the stage from chairs and floor mats; a cameraman with a tripod films from the left side. Two screens flank the stage, and a small lectern stands at right. The figure on the throne is an appearance-based candidate for a person, but the appearance is not distinct enough to confirm.2010-12-02A large hall packed with seated devotees, mostly women in white and cream saris with some in red and orange, viewed from behind their heads and shoulders. On a raised stage with dark maroon drapes, a golden arched shrine holds deity murti decorated with garlands, flanked by a framed portrait of a bearded figure in orange robes and a golden kalasha. A saffron-robed man with folded hands stands near the stage, and a woman in a maroon sari speaks at a microphone to the right beside an ornate canopied peetha. A screen on the left shows the same stage with the shrine and robed figures, indicating a satsang or pada-puja gathering.2014-08-24A photograph of an indoor discourse hall with a dark curtained stage. On a raised golden throne with a white and gold back, a figure in orange robes sits behind a microphone, surrounded by an arch of red and white flowers. Rows of seated audience members face the stage, many in white clothes and some in yellow, orange or green; several have long hair in braids or buns. Ceiling fans, stage lights and a patterned banner hang above. The seated figure on the throne is appearance-based candidate for a person with orange robes and a throne setting, but the cues are not distinctive enough for a firm label, so this is marked uncertain.2009-11-17September 20 20142014-09-20
