A seated figure viewed from behind sits on an ornate wooden throne or peetha in a dimly lit hall with carved golden pillars. Two large carved mythical lion-like guardian figures rise on either side of the seat, and a lattice window glows warm behind. The seated person has long dark hair, a bare upper body, and wears a dark skirt or dhoti, with hands resting on the lap. The warm orange lighting and carved decoration create a sacred, subdued atmosphere.

A single seated figure with long dark hair, seen from behind, sits on a dark wooden throne-like seat on a raised platform above a reflective water-like floor. Small oil lamps glow at the platform edge. A small dark figurine stands at right and a lion sculpture at left. No clear appearance cues establish which person is seated, so the identity remains unsure.2013-07-21A photograph of a single man standing on an ornate golden stage in front of a red-cushioned throne chair. He wears an orange-brown wrap garment over one shoulder, a rudraksha-style mala around his neck, and holds his palms together in greeting. Flanking him are two large golden makara-like mythical guardian statues on carved pillars, two golden lion sculptures at the stage corners, and round turquoise medallions on the walls. The stage is lit warmly with carved gold ornamentation across the top. The man is a physical person on stage; the page does not indicate he is a person, and the appearance cues are not sufficient to establish identity.2013-10-27 +1 copiesJuly 17 20132013-07-17July 24 20132013-07-24A photo of a live satsang on an ornate golden stage with carved golden lion-like pillars and a red latticed backdrop. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a yellow-trimmed shawl, a rudraksha-style necklace and a red forehead mark sits cross-legged on a gilded throne with maroon cushions, hands folded. Probable Swamiji (probable): his long hair is swept back and he wears saffron robes and beads, with a gilded throne, which fits the cues. To the left, a woman in a purple sari sits on a low wooden seat facing him. Two more wooden seats are at the edges of the stage.2013-07-15 +1 copies
