Indoor stage event with orange-clad figures. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in orange robes holds a silver tray with a small silver lamp or vessel and flowers, facing a figure in orange with long dark hair who bends forward with head lowered toward the tray. A white ornate arch frames a blue backdrop, and a seated figure in orange sits on a red-carpeted dais at left, partly visible, with a camera operator in black beside him. A small monitor on the red carpet shows the seated figure. Orange and yellow marigold garlands hang across the top, and a dark drape fills the background.

The man on the left, shaved-headed with a red tilak on his forehead, holds a silver tray with a small golden deity murti or kalasha-like object, flowers and white petals. The man on the right, with long dark swept-back hair and wrapped in orange cloth, bows his head forward and touches the tray with his hand in reverence, as in a padapuja or darshan gesture. The bowing figure shows distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, but his identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so he is described by role only.2010-01-28January 28 20102010-01-28Photograph of a stage session in front of dark red draped curtains. A white upholstered chair with a white cushion and bolster sits at left, with a microphone on a stand and silver oil lamps on the floor. Two men stand close together at center-right. The man in front wears a saffron-orange robe with a darker maroon border and a matching orange head wrap, bending forward and holding a small silver object in his hands. The man behind him, with long dark hair, wears a rust-red robe and is turned toward him. Two people are visible.2009-07-21Photograph of a stage event on a red carpet beneath a white ornate arch with a blue backdrop and marigold garland trim. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a raised throne-like seat with a red cushion, while a bald man in orange stands at a blue-draped altar holding a ritual object. Several monks in orange sit on the floor at left, a camera operator stands beside the stage, and in the foreground a bald monk in orange sits with his back to the camera facing a TV screen showing a figure in orange. The seated figure's face is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, so the orange-robed seated figure is treated as an uncertain candidate.2010-01-28January 28 20102010-01-28A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate red and gold throne on a raised stage before dark blue drapes. He wears a saffron turban-style head covering, a rudraksha mala and a long flower garland in yellow, orange and purple, and raises one hand in blessing. Before the throne lies a red-and-patterned cloth holding brass bowls of fruit, sweets and offerings, with a kalasha-like vessel and a lit oil lamp at each side of the stage. To the right, a second person in saffron robes with long dark hair bends forward with hands joined in reverence. Incense smoke rises near the throne. Two brass lamp stands flank the stage steps.2009-10-17January 28 20102010-01-28December 30 20072007-12-30Outdoor stage under a white tent with red draped platform at a satsang-style event.
