Indoor satsang stage with a green backdrop and gold-framed arch, flanked by two decorated deity murti with garlands. A central figure seated on a yellow-draped platform wears a red-maroon wrap, rudraksha mala beads and a red forehead mark, with long hair swept back; the appearance is consistent with a person, though identity is uncertain. A bald man in red-orange cloth bows toward the seated figure, and a man in white dhoti with gold border kneels at the front near potted plants and rocks. Several women in orange saris and kurtas, one with a long braid and glasses, stand or kneel to the right, and an orange-clad man with rudraksha stands at the top right near the deity.2015-02-12A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a maroon-red garment with a saffron shawl and a gold-and-beaded necklace, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style necklaces and saffron-red robes match the page's reference. Around him, devotees in white and red shawls sit on the floor with hands folded, while a woman in a red sari stands near a deity display. Behind them an altar shows gold-framed deity murtis draped in garlands, flanked by potted palms, and a trident stands upright at the front. The setting looks like a puja or darshan inside a hall.2014-12-29December 30 20142014-12-30A photograph of a padapuja ceremony in an ornate hall. A long-haired person in saffron-orange clothing and a rudraksha mala sits on a gold throne with carved gilded arms, feet extended, while devotees in saffron, orange, magenta and green saris and kurtas kneel and sit around, some pouring liquid from brass vessels and offering flowers over the feet. Behind is a gold-framed altar with a deity murti draped in garlands and gold necklaces, and a kalasha pot in the foreground. Yellow and purple flowers fill the left foreground.2014-12-30A photograph of a satsang hall rotated sideways. A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a beaded rudraksha mala sits on a raised platform with a yellow cloth, his hair swept back, speaking with an open gesture. Behind him is a large ornate golden throne-like backdrop with a green cloth and three seated deity murti dressed in purple, green and red garments with gold ornaments. In the foreground, a bald man in saffron robes and beads sits near devotees, and a few people in orange clothing sit at a low table with a laptop. Potted plants and stones decorate the left side.2015-02-12February 12 20152015-02-12February 12 20152015-02-12August 29 20142014-08-29A stage setting with a golden arched backdrop framing three deity murti: a central figure in green and gold garments with a crown and garlands, flanked by two murti in red and gold with headdresses and marigold garlands, seated above a yellow draped platform. A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on the floor in front of the deities, hands resting on his knee, surrounded by potted plants and rocks. Standing at right is a bald man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala holding a small bag, with several women in orange and red garments nearby. A large brown leather chair stands empty at left beside a green backdrop with a forest image. Two people kneel at lower right, one bald man in orange writing or reading from a sheet. The man seated before the deities has no clear distinguishing appearance cues beyond saffron robes and a mala, so identity is uncertain.2015-02-12A photograph inside an ornate hall with wood-panelled walls and a golden throne. A long-haired figure in a red top and patterned skirt sits on a red-and-gold throne, with a garland-like shawl draped over the shoulder, and extends a hand toward devotees. Before the throne, a woman in a purple sari with a red shawl bends forward to receive a ritual offering from a bald man in white and orange who kneels with a tray of fruit. Other devotees in orange and red shawls, a woman in green and women in white sit or kneel on the carpet. Behind the throne, golden deity images and garlands are displayed, and yellow and purple flowers sit in the foreground. A ritual with padapuja-style devotion appears to be taking place.2014-12-30February 12 20152015-02-12A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a low dais before a shrine of golden deity murti and garlanded images, with potted green plants and a green cloth backdrop. The seated figure holds a golden kalasha-like vessel and an orange fruit, with a wooden tray of offerings, orange fruits, sweets, rudraksha malas and a golden ornament in front. A woman in a red-orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands behind, a woman in white with a mala stands nearby, and a man in white kneels with folded hands in a devotional gesture while another man in white holds an orange fruit. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam offering. The seated robed figure has long hair and a rudraksha mala, a person candidate by appearance.2015-02-06
