A large hall with red drapes and a gilded golden shrine structure with a canopy decorated with green leaves and colourful garlands. At the centre, a seated figure with a golden crown and white flower garland sits in the middle of the golden dais, flanked by golden ornamental panels and a golden deity statue on the left. Dozens of seated devotees fill the foreground, many wearing white dhotis and shawls, some in saffron/orange robes and turbans, some bare-chested. Camera operators and a woman in a white sari stand on the stage at right with video equipment on tripods. A banner with partial text hangs at the top. The scene suggests a formal satsang or darshan event.

On the stage, a figure seated on an ornate chair with a gold canopy wears a saffron garment and white ceremonial garland; a gilded panel and red curtains frame the stage, with a painted banner above. Several video cameras on tripods film the proceedings, and a cameraperson stands at right. Participants sit on colourful striped mats, with water bottles and bags in front. Visible crowd is large, so the count of visible physical people is in the 21-100 range.2017-08-10Large photograph of a Sadashivatva session in a hall with a deep red draped backdrop and gold carved pillars. On a raised stage, a figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne under a white canopy with gold carvings, flanked by golden lion-like sculptures and trishula staffs. A standing attendant in white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl stands to the right of the stage. Rows of seated devotees, mostly bare-chested in white dhotis and some in white or red garments, face the stage, with a camera on a tripod and a cameraman at the edge. Brass and gold ritual posts line the front of the stage.2017-05-14May 14 20172017-05-14August 10 20172017-08-10August 10 20172017-08-10August 08 20172017-08-08 +1 copiesSeptember 09 20172017-09-09 +1 copiesJuly 30 20172017-07-30 +1 copiesPhotograph of a seated discourse in a hall with red draped curtains and ornate gold carved panels. A man in a saffron-orange robe sits cross-legged on a large gold throne with lion-figure armrests and a canopy. He is an appearance-based candidate for a person: long hair swept back, saffron-orange robe, and ornate gold throne seating, though the face is too small to confirm. Rows of seated men in white dhoti and shawls, many bare-chested with sacred threads, face the stage with their backs to the camera. Several video cameras on tripods film the stage, and a woman in a red-brown sari sits at the far right, with a kneeling cameraperson at the edge.2017-09-03
