A seated satsang-style gathering in a room with a dark red curtain backdrop. A figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a golden ornate throne-like seat at right, speaking into a microphone on a stand, with bare feet visible. Facing them, about eight devotees sit on a white sheet in white kurtas and white dhotis, several wearing saffron-orange shawls and rudraksha malas, with hands folded and attentive expressions. A small electric fan stands behind the microphone.

On the right, a person with long dark hair and an orange shawl sits on a gilded golden seat with a microphone stand in front of them, their bare foot resting on the gold base.

A fan and a patterned silk hanging appear at the top right, and a framed poster hangs on the upper left wall.2007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24A stage event before a dark red velvet curtain. A central figure sits in a cream-upholstered chair with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a tiger-stripe patterned shawl over the shoulders and a gold-coloured cloth, speaking into a stand microphone; this central figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate shawl) and is seated as the speaker. Beside and in front of him are about seven other seated people: on the left an orange-robed person with a saffron head wrap, a man in white with an orange shawl and white dhoti, and a person in orange sari-like wrap; on the right men in white shirts and white dhotis, one with a rudraksha-style mala, holding papers. Scattered flower petals lie on the floor, a green cable runs across the stage, and a fan and framed portrait stand at left.2006-12-27February 24 20072007-02-24December 30 20062006-12-30A seated speaker in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair and a gold chain sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Five men in white ritual clothes sit on a white mattress-covered platform in front of him, some wearing rudraksha malas, one looking down at a paper. Behind the group a standing electric fan, a dark red curtain, a navy drape with embroidered panel, and a red-and-gold backdrop with a tassel garland are visible. The Swamiji (probable) cues are the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, ornate gold chain and the throne, and the speaker is seated in the foreground as the presenter of the satsang gathering. Two more people are partly visible at the edges.2007-02-24Indoor satsang hall at evening with a long-haired person in orange robes seated on a golden throne-style chair on a raised platform, a microphone before them, a red and gold backdrop and marigold-and-tinsel garlands hanging above.

Below him, a group sits on orange mats: a bald man in a saffron cloth and gold necklace, several men in white dhotis with red-bordered shawls and gold neck ornaments, and women in white saris with yellow and green borders. Silver trays with offerings, a brass bowl of petals and small plates sit on the mats. One man in white writes on paper.

A figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a raised white-cushioned platform beside an ornate gold-and-red throne, speaking into a microphone. Seated around the platform are devotees in white ritual clothes and several people in orange shawls, some sitting on the floor in front of the stage. A cameraperson stands at the right, and a standing fan is at the left. The figure's distinctive saffron robe, long hair and throne match the page's a person claim, but the face and appearance are not reliably confirmable, so the identity is marked unsure. Physical people visible: roughly a dozen.2007-02-24February 24 20072007-02-24
