September 03 20172017-09-03October 10 20172017-10-10 +1 copiesPhotograph of a seated discourse in a hall with red draped curtains and ornate gold carved panels. A man in a saffron-orange robe sits cross-legged on a large gold throne with lion-figure armrests and a canopy. He is an appearance-based candidate for a person: long hair swept back, saffron-orange robe, and ornate gold throne seating, though the face is too small to confirm. Rows of seated men in white dhoti and shawls, many bare-chested with sacred threads, face the stage with their backs to the camera. Several video cameras on tripods film the stage, and a woman in a red-brown sari sits at the far right, with a kneeling cameraperson at the edge.2017-09-03A photo of a discourse hall with a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion and a carved golden canopy above, flanked by golden pillars with carved figures. The central figure wears a red-and-saffron cloth draped over the body, a large rudraksha-style gold necklace, and a red-and-gold headdress; he is a probable Swamiji (appearance cues: ornate crown-like headdress, saffron-orange garments and ceremonial gold necklace) seated in darshan. Before the stage, a large audience of devotees in orange-saffron clothing sits on the floor, mostly seen from behind with dark hair, with a few people in white clothes. Video cameras on tripods film the stage and a fan stands at right.2017-09-16 +1 copiesAugust 27 20172017-08-27A photograph of a large hall where a seated man in a rust-red robe and matching turban sits on an ornate golden throne flanked by carved golden lion figures and a golden canopy with a multicoloured top.
