Outdoor gathering on a pebble riverbank beside a wide river with hills behind. A large silver trishul stands upright in the foreground, with a small blue-and-yellow bird perched on its base. Dozens of seated devotees wear white kurtas and saffron-orange and red shawls, with many women in red and orange saris; a few wear sunglasses and head coverings. At lower left, a man with bare upper body and a saffron-and-gold dhoti sits facing the scene beside a metal sound speaker. Further right, a bearded man in white robes sits among the devotees, and an older man in a black sweater sits at right. The setting resembles a satsang on the Ganga ghat.

Outdoor riverside gathering on a pebbled Ganga ghat with hills and trees behind in hazy light. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a tripundra of ash on his forehead, bare shoulder with white marks, and an orange-saffron shawl sits on an ornate silver-framed seat beside a tall silver trident, appearing to be a central figure in the gathering. Around him, seated devotees in orange and saffron headwraps and white clothing, some with hands joined in prayer or resting, sit on the stones in rows; a shaved-headed devotee in front bows his head. Some people in white and orange garments are visible further back. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the silver throne-like seat with trident.2014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10Outdoor satsang on a riverbank with a wide pebbled shoreline and forested hills behind. A man seated cross-legged on a silver-framed throne wears an orange-red shawl and a deep red-orange cloth, with a long-haired appearance, and speaks to the gathering. A golden-tipped parasol with fringe stands above him and a silver trident leans beside the throne. Around him sit about thirty devotees on a red-and-white carpeted platform: women in red-orange shawls and white tops, men in white shirts, and a few in orange. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with a long-haired appearance, orange-red shawl and red-orange cloth, is speaking to the devotees seated around him.2014-03-10Outdoor riverside ritual on a stone ghat beside a wide river, with a small blue boat on the water behind. A person standing at the right, with long dark hair swept back, a bare upper body marked with white paste, orange-and-gold clothing and layered beaded necklaces, stands beside a silver-framed seat near a table draped in patterned cloth holding brass bowls and a small pot. Seated rows of devotees in white clothes and red shawls face the table, several with hands folded in prayer. A portable speaker on a stand stands at the left edge. Several more people stand and walk in the background along the bank.2014-03-18March 10 20142014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10Outdoor satsang on a pebbled riverbank at a Ganga ghat. A seated figure on a raised platform beneath a white and gold ceremonial umbrella, wearing orange and saffron robes, appears to address the gathering; a person cue is not clearly established here, as the figure's appearance is not distinct enough to confirm. Around him sit a large crowd of devotees on mats and blankets, many in white kurtas and saffron or red shawls, some with orange garments, others in loose white clothing with long hair. A trident stands to the left, a loudspeaker on a stand at the right, and steps, trees and a small pavilion lie beyond the river.2014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10Outdoor satsang on a pebbled riverbank beside a wide grey-green river with hazy hills behind. A man with long dark hair and an orange-red shawl sits on a low wooden chair under a pale yellow parasol at right, legs bare and folded, speaking to the gathering. Around him, dozens of seated devotees in white and orange-red shawls, some in a blue-and-white saree, listen on the stones; a few women in saffron and orange-red sit in a group further right. A small deity murti and a black bag lie near the chair. Appearance cues are visible on the seated speaker (long hair, orange-red shawl and bare-legged posture), so the page's Swamiji claim is a probable identification.2014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10
