Photograph of a satsang on a gilded ornate throne. A man with long dark hair and a red-brown robe sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, wearing a long garland of white flowers with red and yellow accents, golden bangles and a gold pendant, eyes closed. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate gold throne and garlanded red-brown robe are the appearance cues. Seated on the floor before him are devotees in orange and white clothing with orange scarves and lanyards; a woman in a white top and a woman with glasses listen attentively. Behind them hangs a deep red curtain beside carved golden pillars, and a white fan stands at the right edge.

July 15 20162016-07-15A satsang in a hall with deep red draped curtains and an ornate gold throne. A bearded man with long dark hair under a dark turban sits on the left in a red-and-saffron garment, wearing a white floral garland, gold bangles and a gold armlet; he is a probable Swamiji by these visible cues, seated in front of the group. About two dozen devotees sit cross-legged on the floor facing him: many young people wear white kurtas or white tops with red-and-white shawls, some hold brass plates and small bowls, and a few wear orange and saffron clothing. A white wall fan stands behind them and a red-robed statue is visible on a shelf at the right.2016-07-15A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas, seated on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests under a white and red tent. A woman in white with a red-bordered sari kneels before him, touching his hand, while a bare-chested man in orange with a yellow and white bead necklace stands behind. Several women in orange and saffron garments with beaded necklaces, some holding offerings, gather around, and more devotees in white stand in the background. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate based on his long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and garland. The scene resembles a devotional puja or padapuja at a festival setting.2016-01-03April 26 20162016-04-26May 02 20162016-05-02July 22 20132013-07-22A seated man on a large gold throne with a rounded fan-like backrest sits centrally before a red floral backdrop with scattered red rose petals. He wears a rust-orange turban, an orange-red robe, a white flower garland with red beads, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and holds a silver trident-topped staff. A gold ornate canopy hangs above him. Around him, seated devotees in white, cream and orange clothing, including a woman in a green blouse and women with glasses, sit closely together during what appears to be a gathering. The appearance of the seated man matches several cues: orange-saffron robe, turban, garland, rudraksha and gold ornaments, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) on the throne, receiving devotees.2015-05-27A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped armrests and a tiger-striped cloth, under a gold canopy inside a tent. The central figure wears a red robe, a long multicolour flower garland and gold necklaces, with a red tilak on the forehead and hair swept back. Two crossed silver tridents flank the throne. Standing and kneeling around are devotees: a man in white with clasped hands at left, a man in an orange dhoti and rudraksha mala beside the throne, a woman in a white sari with a red-and-white shawl at right, and a woman in red beside her. Rose petals lie on a red cushioned platform at the foot of the throne, where a priest in white with a red shawl kneels at left. The scene reads as a pratyaksha padapuja on a throne, with the seated figure described only by role.2016-05-20June 26 20172017-06-26A seated man on a red throne is garlanded with red, white and yellow flower chains and wears a gold necklace and armlets.
