A photograph of a seated man in an orange robe on an ornate gold throne decorated with a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. He wears layered beaded necklaces with a rudraksha-style mala, a red garland, bangles and a shawl. Several devotees sit on the floor before him, including a woman in white with a red blouse and a man in orange, and a woman in white with a gold border kneeling with joined palms. Brass oil lamps stand beside the throne and a painted backdrop of a large tree is behind it. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads fits the Swamiji (probable) cues, and the page places him at this satsang, so he is shown in person seated in a teaching role among devotees.2013-01-06Photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a decorated pavilion.

Behind him a large arrangement of multicoloured flowers in purple, yellow, red and white decorates a gilded shrine structure with a golden deity murti. In front, a man in a white shirt and white trousers folds his hands in namaskaram, while a man in a white dhoti and a standing devotee with a rudraksha mala press their palms together nearby.
