Behind them, several women in white garments with red-and-white shawls stand in a purple-lit hall, one holding her hands together. The seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial adornments and a turban consistent with the page's reference to a person, so this is a probable identification in the appearance-based sense; the devotee and standing women are shown in darshan-style setting.2015-09-15July 12 20152015-07-12October 26 20152015-10-26Night-time outdoor satsang with devotees seated on a raised stone platform.

Behind him, several women in white saris with red borders and white flower garlands stand and sit, with a man in a red-orange shawl at the right edge. Some appearance-based cues here (red turban, rudraksha malas, saffron cloth) are present, so a probable Swamiji is shown in the centre offering fruit, which fits the page's account of an offering event.

Several attendees have palms together and are holding a red-covered book.2015-09-14A seated figure on a large gilded throne with carved lion-like armrests and ornate golden panels sits at the top of a red-draped hall, wearing a rust-orange turban, a saffron-orange wrap and a long beaded mala with gold ornaments. Around the throne, a seated congregation in white and orange-red shawls faces him, with several people in front holding offerings and palms together. Women in white and yellow saris sit on the floor in the foreground, and a brass oil lamp stands at the right edge. The setting looks like a satsang or puja with devotees seated in rows. Several people are visible in the front rows, about twenty to thirty in total, and the gathering is visible at the back and sides as well.2015-10-26A photograph inside a red-draped hall where a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions holds a silver trident-like staff upright in his right hand.

A gold trident (trishul) rises behind him from the turban area. Around him, many seated devotees in white clothing wear red-orange shawls draped over their shoulders, sitting on white cloth on the floor. Behind the throne is a shrine with colourful deity murtis, including a seated figure and standing figures in red and gold garments. Gold ornate pillars and a red stage curtain frame the room.

Roughly thirty or more people are visible.2015-07-02June 21 20152015-06-21
