Brass oil lamps stand around the throne, and devotees in white sit in rows in the foreground, with a woman in a red top seated at left. The figure has a red bindi and is gesturing with one hand as he talks.

January 04 20162016-01-04A photograph of a satsang discourse in a temple-style hall with red walls and an ornate wooden canopy hung with rudraksha malas and brass lamps. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red-orange saffron shawl over his body and a gold-bordered orange cloth, sits on a gold-trimmed throne and raises one hand while speaking. He has a red bindi on his forehead and a bangle on his wrist. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. On the left, a woman in a red sari with a beaded necklace sits near brass oil lamps shaped like swans. A carved Nataraja relief hangs on the wall behind the throne. Seated devotees in white fill the foreground, some with their backs to the camera.2016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders and sits cross-legged on an ornate wooden throne with gold carving and a circular backrest. The throne sits under a wooden canopy hung with brass bells and dark beaded strands. Brass oil lamps and a brass peacock figure stand on the ledge in front, and a water bottle and cup sit nearby. Many devotees in white garments with their backs to the camera sit on the floor facing him in a red-walled hall. The scene reads as a seated discourse or satsang. A man with long hair, a saffron robe and a throne fits the Swamiji description, so the presence is an appearance-based probable match.2016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04A seated man in a saffron-orange robe sits on a gilded throne-like seat under a golden canopy supported by wooden columns, raising one hand in a gesture while speaking.
