A wide stage photograph of a satsang hall with string lights across a dark ceiling and a blue backdrop bearing a faint Shiva lingam emblem. A seated figure in orange robes and red-and-white beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gold throne with a golden staff beside it. Several people in saffron and orange robes sit on white-covered chairs at left, and a row of devotees in white, orange and pink clothing stand at right, some holding cloth. Ornate carved gold pillars frame the stage. The seated figure matches the appearance of a person through the orange robes and beaded necklaces, seated on the throne, but the image is distant and the appearance is uncertain.

A figure in saffron-orange clothing sits on the throne while a seated attendant in white kneels beside them, and several people in white and orange-sashed garments are arranged on the steps and around the platform. A video camera on a tripod is aimed at the stage from the right, and silhouetted audience members fill the foreground. The scene appears to be a staged performance or filmed reenactment rather than a ritual event.2006-12-10A photograph of a ceremonial hall where a seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a rudraksha-style necklace and a large floral garland, sits on an ornate golden throne beneath a golden canopy.

Devotees in white dhotis and white saris, some with red shawls, stand in lines on orange mats, and a woman in a red-and-white sari bows low at the throne's base while a man in white prostrates on the floor in front. A figure in the foreground is seen from behind. Wall decorations include a painted temple backdrop and dark drapery.2010-11-05A seated figure sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests, a red cushioned seat and a gold trident-style backdrop, framed by a large pink lotus and crescent motif on a stage with purple lighting. The seated figure wears a red cap, an orange-red garment and a marigold garland. Around the throne stand about fifteen people: on the left, several in saffron/orange robes, including one holding papers and a man in white with a microphone; on the right, men in white kurta and dhoti clothing holding small yellow cloth bags.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a saffron head cloth, wearing a red and white beaded mala, sits on the throne beside a golden trident-topped staff; the figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person candidate with several cues (saffron head cloth, rudraksha-style mala, ornate seating), so this is a person. To the left, an elderly woman in a green sari sits beside a woman in white with a saffron-orange border and a man in orange, with a fan nearby. Two women stand at right: one in a grey-green embroidered sari holding papers, and one in a white sari with a saffron border holding a microphone. A blue backdrop shows a Shiva lingam symbol with a red disc and horizontal white stripes.2015-07-21April 03 20172017-04-03
