A figure in orange and red robes with a long red-and-white flower garland sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and red cushions, in front of a draped maroon velvet curtain. Behind the throne, a decorated stage backdrop shows painted cornices and pink-and-gold pillar ornaments. To the left stands a golden deity murti on a golden horse-shaped pedestal, framed by a green-and-red flower garland arch. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, orange clothing, a red-and-white garland and a ceremonial throne, which are the cues here.

Beside him stands a golden deity murti of Murugan-style form on a peacock vehicle, a decorated ratha-like canopy and gold frame, garlanded with red-and-white flower garlands and a trident in hand. The murti sits on a red draped platform. A brass oil lamp stands on a small table, and a red-and-pink decorated pillar is in the background. The scene resembles a satsang setting with a deity murti and a guru seated on a throne.2013-11-07A photograph of a ceremonial stage with deep red velvet drapes.

In the foreground a woman in a red and orange sari with a red head wrap stands at left, reaching toward a gold lamp stand, with a bare-armed devotee kneeling at the far left edge. Centre stage is a gold ornate arch framing a seated figure draped with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, white and purple, wearing a crown and a white ornamented necklace; this appears to be a deity murti or a figure decorated for worship rather than a living person. In front, a small brass pot and a red-and-white offering are arranged with white and yellow flower garlands. Tall gold lamp stands flank the scene, and a red velvet throne stands at right.2015-06-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a satsang setting with a man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and lion-head armrests, wearing a rust-red dhoti and shawl, a matching red turban, a rudraksha mala and gold armbands, looking toward the right. Beside him on a second gold throne draped in an orange cloth and densely garlanded with multicoloured flower strands sits a gold deity murti adorned with a crown. A red velvet curtain and green drapery form the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is seated in person on the left throne, identified by the rudraksha mala, rust-red robes and turban cues, while the garlanded throne holds a deity murti.2013-11-13 +1 copiesDecember 31 20152015-12-31 +1 copiesA photograph of a stage set for a satsang.
