A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold and red velvet throne with a carved sun-face crest, long dark hair falling past his shoulders, a red bindi and a rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck. He holds a silver staff topped with a trident in one hand and raises the other fist in an animated gesture while addressing a seated audience. A silver trident stands upright beside the throne. Around him women in pink, orange and yellow saris and men in dark kurtas sit in rows, some wearing garlands, and a small white deity figure sits on the table near him.

December 14 20162016-12-14A bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a large hall, wearing an orange-brown shawl over an orange top and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a small silver tray with a ritual object and a silver staff rests beside him. A silver trident stands at left. A young woman in an orange sari with gold jewellery and a bindi sits below him, and a seated audience in pink, orange and white fills the room. A standing fan and a large screen are visible. The man has distinctive visible cues of long hair, orange clothing and a throne-like seat, so he is a probable Swamiji in a seated teaching position.2016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, wrapped in an orange-brown shawl over orange clothing, holding a black microphone in his right hand and speaking to a seated audience. The hall has red curtains and white draped walls. In the foreground at left, a bare-chested man wears a white garment with an orange sash and red beads, and at lower left a white oscillating fan stands before the crowd. Audience members, many in dark and white clothing, sit close to the stage, and a woman in an orange sari with a dark braid sits at right. The man on the throne has long, swept-back hair, a beard, and an orange shawl, which are cues consistent with the probable identification of Swamiji. The throne and the microphone are visible, and the scene shows a discourse.2016-12-19December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14December 14 20162016-12-14A man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a rust-orange and saffron sannyasi wrap over an orange top, sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and carved lion-face motifs.

Audience members in orange, pink and white clothing fill the hall, some with hands folded. A large screen and white draped curtains form the backdrop.2016-12-14
