A bare-chested figure with long swept-back hair, an orange turban and a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a red cloth, holding out a hand to a devotee and taking offerings from a woman in a red sari and gold jewellery. Nearby stands a young man in orange robes wearing a long gold chain and a rudraksha-style necklace, guiding a devotee bending forward, while a man in a dark shirt reaches in with a fruit.

Beside him, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits with a sacred ash mark on his forehead, and two standing women in white saris, one holding a brown bag and papers, watch. Behind them stand a red curtain and brass oil lamps. Illuminated by stage lighting, the scene suggests a ritual offering. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), with turban, swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate gold-bead necklaces as distinguishing cues.2015-10-12Indoor satsang scene. A figure with long dark hair in a bun, wearing a rust-red wrap, a white-and-blue beaded garland and rudraksha bracelets, sits on a cushion beside an ornate gold lion-headed seat and holds a red fruit or ball toward a bald, bearded elder in orange robes with folded hands. Behind them, women in orange and cream saris stand with palms pressed together, and a woman in a white shawl bows at right. A ceiling fan and cream wall frame the room. The seated figure bears distinctive adornments and clothing cues, so this is a probable appearance-based match for a person seated in a teaching role, though identity remains uncertain.2014-04-27
