A courtyard satsang at an ashram with red walls and stone pillars. A man with short dark hair in an orange-red cloth sits on an ornate gold-trimmed throne beneath a gold canopy, with a small table and water glass before him. A woman in a red blouse and green sari with gold border bends forward to offer something or speak with him. Around them devotees sit on the floor: a bare-chested man with long hair, a man in white with an orange shawl, a woman in white with a volunteer lanyard, and others in white clothes. Bronze statues of figures stand on pedestals, and a fan and a large bronze wheel decorate the background.

A man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, facing a microphone, with a gold low table in front of him. Around him sit many devotees in white and orange-saffron clothes, some wearing rudraksha malas and white forehead markings; several are seated cross-legged on striped mats while others look toward the speaker. Gold and red ornamental deity figures and garlands fill the background. The man on the throne shows distinctive long hair and saffron robes, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) identification on this page; the identity is an appearance-based label only.2015-09-18Outdoor courtyard satsang with a large audience seated on stone floor in white and cream clothing with teal lanyards. At left a woman in a green and red sari with a red blouse holds a microphone and speaks to the group.

A carved wooden doorway and red walls frame the scene. No identifiable a person figure is visible in this image.2016-09-15A seated saffron-robed man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded in his lap, at the centre of an open temple pavilion. Around him on orange mats, about a dozen devotees in white and cream clothes sit in a semicircle, several holding small brass cups or plates, one woman in a yellow-bordered sari, another in blue. To the left a gilded deity murti stands before a shrine decorated with flower garlands and brass lamps, and red-and-white pillars frame the structure. A seated man in white with a lanyard sits near the throne. The scene suggests a puja or satsang with offerings.2010-09-03January 28 20162016-01-28A photograph of a seated congregation in a temple-like pavilion with stone pillars and ornate gold lamps. In the far background a bare-chested man with dark hair sits on a raised red platform gesturing with his hand, while a wooden throne-like seat stands in the foreground. Many devotees wear white dhotis and shawls edged with gold, some in orange or saffron robes, and one woman in a white top and maroon trousers sits on a wooden bench. Brass oil lamps, a steel pot and a yellow cloth bag sit beside a stone pillar, and a rudraksha-bead wearer in saffron is visible at right. Several people are seated closely together facing the front; the scene is busy and mostly obscured.2016-09-15September 05 20162016-09-05A photo of a satsang in an open courtyard with red walls and a wooden canopy. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and holding a microphone, sits on an elevated green-carpeted dais with a gold-trimmed seat. A woman in an orange sari sits near the dais and a woman in an orange sari stands at the upper right. Seated devotees in the foreground include shirtless men in white dhotis, a man in a magenta shirt, women in saris and a fair-haired woman in a white outfit. Brass bells hang from the canopy, and bronze deity murtis and oil lamps stand on the left. The main figure is probable Swamiji (appearance cues: long dark hair, saffron robe, dais seat), so the probable label is applied to him.2016-11-07October 31 20102010-10-31 +2 copiesPhotograph of a satsang in an open courtyard with red-painted walls, a tall brass trident and a stone-carved figure nearby.

Around 15 physical people are visible.2016-09-15
