A large indoor satsang hall with a crowd of devotees seated on the red carpet, many with raised hands. At the centre, a man with dark hair, wearing an orange shawl, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured necklace, sits on an ornate brown throne-like chair. Devotees around him wear white clothes with orange and red shawls, and several women have long braided hair. Behind them stand a golden tree decoration, a gold-trimmed chair, and display panels with framed photographs under warm lights. A camera on a tripod is visible at the back. Many people are visible, mostly in the front rows.

A golden trident stands beside the throne. Around him a large audience sits cross-legged on the floor in white clothing with orange-red shawls draped across their shoulders, with a few seated on chairs at the rear. Behind them rows of red chairs face a wall of framed photographs and a deity murti is visible in the background. Banners and photo panels line the walls. The central figure's appearance has several cues associated with a person, including a saffron robe and ornate beaded necklace, while the throne and setting support the seated role; the identity is an appearance-based candidate only.2015-10-22 +1 copiesA large hall filled with a seated audience, most dressed in white with orange-red shawls, facing a raised throne.

The seated figure wears an orange-red turban, a saffron-orange shawl, and several layered strands of beads and gold-coloured necklaces. A tall trident-shaped staff with a golden finial rises beside the throne. Around him, seated devotees in white clothes and orange-red shawls fill the floor, while women in white and orange saris and shawls stand and move among them, some reaching toward the seated figure. The mood is an attentive gathering in a formal hall. Cues: turban, layered beads and saffron clothing on the seated figure, with a throne and trident staff, support a probable identification of Swamiji in person.2015-07-12
