A photograph of a stage with a blue draped curtain behind it. An empty ornate beige throne with dark carved wooden arms and round cushions stands at centre. Around it, about eight young people in white dhotis and white kurtas or sarees, many wearing yellow scarves, move about or stand on the grey stage. A woman in a white saree with a pink and orange shawl stands by the throne, another in white reaches out, and a man in the right foreground kneels at the stage edge looking upward with his arms outstretched, wearing a white kurta, yellow scarf and a crossbody bag. No one on stage is identifiable as the a person candidate with confidence.

Several people in white clothing with yellow and orange-red shawls gather around a cream armchair at centre stage, with a woman in a white sari with orange border among them. A man at right foreground in white with yellow shawl gestures toward the stage; a man at left in white robes gestures, and a figure in white sari with a red book stands at left. Bottles of water sit on the front edge of the stage. No one is clearly identifiable as a person by visible cues in this frame, so the figure is unsure.2010-07-11July 11 20102010-07-11A stage performance in a hall with blue curtains and orange-and-red draped valances. On a raised white platform, a seated figure in an ornate dark throne-like chair is attended by several people in white garments with yellow shawls. One standing person in white leans toward the seated figure, while others in white stand around them. Two women in white saris with gold borders stand at the right. Several men in white kurtas with yellow shawls stand at the left on the stage. In the foreground, empty black chairs and a folded striped cloth sit on the floor, with a video camera on a tripod. The seated figure is a throne occupant rather than a clearly identifiable individual, so no identification is made.2010-07-11July 11 20102010-07-11July 11 20102010-07-11July 11 20102010-07-11July 11 20102010-07-11A stage set with dark red curtains shows a seated figure in orange and ochre robes with long dark hair and a garland, sitting on a white-draped bed or dais in front of a white curved backdrop. Around them, a group of devotees in white dhotis, white kurtas and white saris stand in a line, some with raised hands, while a woman in a white sari with orange border kneels near the seated figure and a man in a white shirt leans in toward them. A man in an orange robe sits at the lower left, and a person in a yellow shawl stands at the far left.

A man in an orange-saffron cloth stands centre-back, with a rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck. Around him, about a dozen people in white clothes with saffron and yellow shawls stand in a loose circle. A person in white lies prone on the floor in the middle, while others, including a bent-over helper, watch or assist. Two women in white saris with yellow borders stand on the left, and a figure in an orange sari is near the centre. A small shrine-like structure and a microphone stand appear in the background. The scene reads as a group ritual or prostration exercise.2008-07-26
