A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a satsang, densely decorated with marigolds, yellow and orange flower garlands and white blossoms. Two red velvet thrones with silver-carved frames stand side by side. On the left, an older man in white kurta and pants with a dark patterned shawl bows toward the seat. On the right, a man in a maroon-red robe with a matching rust-orange turban and a white shawl gestures toward the other throne. Between them stands a gold-draped table with a small flag, and a painted figure in the background, with the words 'a person' applied to the right-hand figure's distinctive orange turban, long hair and shawl. A large framed image of a seated figure and a flag appear behind the thrones; the scene is purple-lit with framed pictures on the walls.

A decorated stage with garlands of marigolds and roses, a purple-lit backdrop and a deity portrait behind. Two red-cushioned silver thrones flank a golden-draped table. On the right, a man in a rust-maroon robe and a rust turban, with long braided hair and a white shawl, stands with palms joined in greeting. Beside him a red flag hangs from a pole. On the left, an older man in a white kurta, grey-and-black shawl and rudraksha mala bows toward him. Palm fronds and white flowers decorate the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the figure in the rust robe, identified by his turban, braided hair, rudraksha-adorned ceremonial dress, and role as the figure being greeted.2017-07-09A decorated stage with marigold and flower garlands framing two white-and-red ornate thrones. On the right, a man in a maroon-brown robe, a saffron-red turban, layered gold and bead necklaces and a white shawl sits on a throne with bare feet. On the left, an older bald man in a white kurta-style outfit and a purple shawl sits on a second throne. Between them stands a yellow flower-draped table with flower vases and a small offering tray. Behind them are orange and red flags, a large framed deity image on a golden backdrop, and white floral arrangements at the front of the stage. Pink and purple lights illuminate the hall.2017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09A photograph in a flower-decorated hall with a canopy of marigolds and yellow blossoms over two ornate silver-and-red thrones. An older man in white trousers and a lavender-purple shawl with gold border bows forward, offering or receiving something over a gold-draped table. Facing him is a younger person with long dreadlocks, wearing a rust-orange maroon sannyasi cloth, a rust turban with a brooch, and a white shawl with an Indian tricolour border. Behind them is a deity murti or portrait framed by garlands, with purple lighting and hanging marigold strands. A candidate matching the page's Swamiji reference has several visible cues: long locks, a turban and orange-saffron robes, so this is an appearance-based probable identification of the younger figure standing at the table in the sannyasi role.2017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09A photograph of two men exchanging a small silver tray holding a gift in a decorated stage setting.

On the right, a man in a dark maroon-brown robe with a white shawl and a maroon turban with a white plume receives it, with long dark hair and a garland. Between them is a golden table, and behind them are two red-and-gold ornate thrones, a backdrop with orange and yellow flower garlands, and a framed deity murti on a red cloth. The right man is an appearance-based a person candidate on the basis of the swept hair, turban, maroon robe and garland, but his identity is uncertain.2017-07-09A photograph of a festive stage decorated with dense garlands of orange and yellow marigolds and red flowers along its canopy and pillars.
