Photograph of a hall with a deep red swagged curtain backdrop and a large golden relief of a multi-armed deity murti on the wall. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching turban sits on a raised dais, a person by appearance cues of orange clothing and turban, with a small lit lamp stand nearby. A crowd of devotees, many in white kurtas and dhotis, some in yellow and pink shirts, stand with their backs to the camera facing the dais, some with hands raised in a gesture of greeting or devotion. A video camera on a tripod and a clear lectern sit to the right, and a potted plant is near the front. Several people wear rudraksha malas and one has long dreadlocks.

Many devotees, mostly men in white dhotis and white shirts, some bare-chested with sacred threads, and women in saris and salwar kameez in green, orange, yellow and purple, move forward with raised hands toward the stage. A camera on a tripod records the scene, and a small boy in a grey jacket stands in the foreground. The central seated figure on a dais is too distant to confirm any identity, so no candidate is established here.2017-01-06January 04 20172017-01-04January 04 20172017-01-04January 04 20172017-01-04November 07 20162016-11-07A crowd of devotees in white dhotis and shirts, some with saffron-and-gold sashes, moves through a hall in front of red drapes. Behind them, on a gold throne, a seated man in a red turban, rudraksha mala and pink garland receives the crowd beneath a large golden-toned painting of a multi-armed deity murti. A gold trident stands at left. Many people are blurred in motion, with hands raised. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain and the page says he is not present at this event, so he is described by role only.2016-09-16January 04 20172017-01-04January 06 20172017-01-06A photo of a satsang hall with red drapes and a large bronze-toned relief of a multi-armed seated deity murti behind a raised seat.
