Photo of a satsang stage with a golden ornate throne and a red and gold backdrop painting of a seated deity figure with a glowing halo and a kneeling devotee in orange robes with hands folded in prayer. A seated figure in saffron and orange robes with a red headwrap and a leopard-print seat cushion sits on the golden throne, with a long silver trident beside him. Potted plants, brass oil lamps and carved gold pillars flank the stage, and a standing fan is at left. Two audience members' heads are visible at the bottom edge. The person on the throne has distinctive saffron and orange ceremonial clothing, a red headwrap and ornate gold necklace cues, so the appearance-based label applies.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange robe and beaded rudraksha necklaces sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, with a trident standing beside it. Brass oil lamps line the front of the stage, with flower arrangements and a small offering tray with flowers and fruit. A woman in dark clothing sits in the bottom corner of the frame.2015-05-09May 09 20152015-05-09May 12 20152015-05-12A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a red turban sits on an ornate gold throne on a stage draped with red velvet. He wears a rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace and holds his hand outstretched toward a pot of greenery. Behind him a large painted backdrop shows a green-faced deity with a crown and halo, a bull, a crescent moon, a trident and a saffron-robed figure in profile. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, a brass vessel and a lotus-flower garland sit on the stage floor, and gold carved pillars frame the set. The page-flag candidate is Swamiji (probable) in an appearance-based sense, given the saffron robes, mala and turban on the throne.2015-05-10A seated figure in an ornate gold throne on a red-draped stage, wearing an orange-red turban, orange and yellow robes, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured necklace, with a leopard-skin cushion beneath. A trident stands to the right and potted plants and brass oil lamps flank the throne. The backdrop shows a glowing green deity murti with a crown, a seated bald devotee in orange, a tree and a sacred bull.
