A photograph of an altar on a stage before a deep red curtain. A seated figure in orange robes, a saffron turban, a long beard and a gold necklace sits on a silver-and-red throne at the centre, raising one hand in blessing. The figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but the central figure is a printed or framed image only in the sense that the image is flat; it is a portrait-style figure seated on a throne, so the appearance is uncertain. Flanking him are gold-framed deity murti decorated with garlands in yellow, green and purple. A hand from the lower left holds a brass oil lamp with five flames over the altar. Floral garlands and a gold arch frame the scene.2017-11-27A photograph of a temple-style satsang stage draped with maroon curtains. In the centre, a large gold-framed throne is decorated with marigold garlands and holds a printed cutout of a smiling man in saffron-orange robes, a saffron turban, a gold necklace and mala, seated in a meditative pose with one hand raised in blessing. Flanking him are gold-framed niches with garlanded deity murtis, a green-clad figure on the left and a seated deity murti in green and gold on the right, plus a gold standing figure. A hand at the lower left holds a brass oil lamp with several lit flames. The cutout appears to be a printed image, not a physical person, and the copyright overlay is not described.2017-11-27A photo of a temple-style stage with a red velvet curtain behind three gilded shrines. In the centre, a large printed cutout of a bearded man in orange robes, an orange turban, rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on a red-cushioned throne, one hand raised in blessing, flanked by lion figures and a golden arch decorated with garlands. To the left and right stand deity murtis draped in garlands, and a gilded attendant figure stands beside each side shrine. In the foreground, a lit oil lamp and a hand holding a sacred item are visible. The central figure is a printed cutout rather than a physical person, so the scene contains no living people.2017-11-27A photograph of a temple shrine with a red velvet curtain backdrop. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes with a gold necklace and a red cushion sits on a gold-framed throne at centre; this figure is a printed or cut-out depiction, not a living person, and the page's a person flag is not visible in the image itself. Flanking the centre are two gold-framed niches holding deity murtis draped in yellow and multicoloured flower garlands, and gold statues stand beside the throne. In the foreground a hand holds a multi-flame aarti lamp toward the throne, with oil lamps burning.2017-11-27A photograph of a stage set for satsang, with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, long dark hair and beard, and a gold-beaded necklace with rudraksha malas, seated on a silver throne with lion figures and red cushions, one hand raised. Garlands of yellow, red and green flowers drape the golden arched backdrop and two deity murti flanking him. To the left, a figure in orange cloth and bare chest holds up a lit oil lamp. Maroon curtains hang behind and rose petals are scattered on the floor. Two people are physically present.2017-11-27A worship scene in a temple hall with deep red drapes behind a golden throne. A large cutout photograph of a smiling man in saffron robes and an orange turban sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with multicoloured garland, with lion figures at its base. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture and has rudraksha-style beads and a gold necklace. Beside him, a golden-framed altar holds a garlanded deity murti in green and gold cloth with a crown, and a golden standing figure holds a kalasha-like object. In the foreground, a person in dark clothing raises a lit multi-wick oil lamp, an aarti gesture. Only the arm and sleeve of this one person are visible. The seated figure is a printed or mounted image, not a physical person.2017-11-27November 27 20172017-11-27A photograph of a temple-style altar in a hall with deep maroon drapes. At center sits a large printed portrait of a bearded man in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban, a rudraksha-style garland across his chest, seated on a red cushioned throne framed by a gold arch and flower garlands in red, yellow and white, with a raised right hand in blessing. To the right, a golden deity murti stands in a gold niche, draped in green cloth and marigold garlands with a jewelled crown. Two golden female attendant figures flank the central throne, and an oil lamp with flames is visible at the far left edge, held by a partially visible hand. The portrait is a depiction, not a physical person in the room, so no living people are counted.2017-11-27November 26 20172017-11-26A photograph of a stage set for a satsang, with a central seated figure in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a gold-and-red beaded necklace, raising two fingers in a blessing gesture.

Gold arched thrones on either side hold decorated deity murti garlanded with yellow and multicolour flowers. Standing gold figures and an oil lamp are on the stage, and a priest in orange cloth at the left edge, partly visible, performs a lamp offering. The central figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the saffron robes, turban, and ornate necklace, but the appearance is only partly visible.2017-11-27A photograph of a satsang on a raised stage. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate silver-and-green throne, hands raised in teaching gesture, wearing a large orange-and-gold beaded necklace and bracelets, with garlands of yellow, red and white flowers draped over the throne. Flanking him are gold deity murtis in garlanded shrines, a standing gold attendant figure holding a pot, and a lamp-tending attendant in orange at left. Red velvet curtains hang behind.
