A photograph inside a temple-style stage set with carved stone pillars, painted banyan-tree backdrop and a deity image garlanded with flowers. A man in white kneels facing a tall red velvet throne-like seat with arms raised, while a robed figure in orange stands at the throne's side. Another man in white with a shaved head wears an orange cloth, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, and a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti holds a mala. A woman in white sari kneels at the front, and a man in a striped shirt stands at right. Brass oil lamps and a red cloth-covered platform frame the scene.

A long-haired figure in orange-saffron cloth sits on the throne, a rudraksha-style necklace visible, and a devotee in white kneels on the dais with outstretched hands, while a child in white stands beside him and another man in white dhoti and shawl kneels at right. Surrounding trees and temple pillars frame the hall. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm, so the identity is marked uncertain.2015-05-05A photograph of a satsang-style ceremony indoors.

In front of the throne, a man with grey hair in a white shirt kneels with raised hands toward the seated figure.

The scene reads as a satsang, with the seated figure on the throne and a kneeling devotee offering reverence.2010-12-17June 22 20082008-06-22
