In front, a young woman in orange clothing sits on a red carpet with hands folded, beside a microphone stand, while a family of devotees sits on the floor in green, pink and purple clothes listening. Brass oil lamps hang from the ceiling above the throne.

February 09 20122012-02-09November 25 20132013-11-25Photograph of a seated satsang in a temple hall with painted deity statues flanking the doorway. A man in orange robes and an orange turban sits on a gold throne with red cushions, a rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck; he is a probable Swamiji candidate by these cues. In front, a woman in an orange sari with folded hands sits on a red-patterned rug beside a microphone stand, and a man in a brown kurta sits before the throne. On the right, seated devotees include a girl in purple, a woman in green and a woman in pink, with a man in grey at the edge. Hanging brass oil lamps and a ceiling chandelier are visible.2012-02-09A photograph inside a richly painted temple hall with a red carpet. Two large painted deity statues with four arms flank a doorway, holding attributes such as a club and lotus. In the central golden throne-like seat sits a figure in a maroon robe with a maroon head covering, hands raised in a blessing gesture; the figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is a seated devotee-style figure described by role. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides. In the foreground, a person in a white dhoti with a sash sits with their back to the camera, and on the right a woman in a maroon sari with folded hands and several seated devotees, including a child in pink, face the throne in worship during what appears to be a puja. Approximately 6-8 physical people are visible.2014-04-20October 27 20142014-10-27A golden ornate throne sits in a shrine flanked by two tall painted dvarapala guardian statues with multiple arms, crowns and gold necklaces, one holding a trident-like staff. Seated on the throne is a figure with a bare upper body, a red-maroon dhoti and a long pink-and-white flower garland; the figure has a shaved head and a person appearance with distinctive ceremonial cues limited to the garland and throne setting. Three devotees kneel before the throne: a woman in a green sari with hands folded at left, a person in orange robes seen from behind at centre, and a man in white clothes with hands folded at right, plus a partly visible person at far right edge. Hanging brass oil lamps and bells decorate the shrine ceiling, and a small copper vessel sits at the base of the throne.2014-09-28February 10 20122012-02-10February 09 20122012-02-09February 09 20122012-02-09Photograph of a satsang hall with a golden ornate throne at the centre, set in a shrine-like doorway framed by painted pillars and two large colourful deity statues with four arms and crowns, one holding a lotus-like object. A seated figure in maroon and orange robes with a red head covering and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace sits on the throne; their face is partly unclear, so identity is uncertain. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides. In the foreground, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with beads sits at left, and several women in orange and maroon saris sit with palms pressed together in namaste. Silhouetted heads of other devotees appear in the lower frame, with a vase or offering tray at the bottom edge.2014-04-13April 13 20142014-04-13A temple hall with a central golden throne framed by garlands, where a seated figure in a green garment with a white head wrap and a red flower garland sits with hands raised in a gesture. Two large painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with four arms and crowns stand on either side of the doorway, each draped in a multicolour garland. Hanging brass lamps and a golden canopy hang above the throne. On the floor in front, several women in saffron and red saris sit with palms pressed together before a microphone, and two older men in white kurtas sit in prayer near the lower right. A small oil lamp burns on the floor before the throne, and the walls are painted in blue, orange and green with decorative pillars.2011-12-13
