July 15 20132013-07-15A television talk-show set with ornate golden carved pillars topped by mythical beasts and a red lattice panel behind. A central seated man in an orange-brown ochre robe with a gold-trimmed cloth sits cross-legged on a gold-accented throne with red cushions, hands clasped, with long hair and bare feet. Facing him, a woman in a purple sari sits on a wooden chair at left, and a man in a pale yellow shirt and dark trousers sits on a wooden chair at right. The central figure matches the appearance cues of a long-haired, orange-robed guru, but the appearance is not conclusive, so the identity is uncertain.July 18 20132013-07-18A seated man in an ornate golden-orange stage set sits on a gold-trimmed throne with red cushions, flanked by two large carved golden lion-like sculptures on pillars and a red lattice panel behind. He wears a rust-orange robe with a yellow border and sits barefoot on a raised platform, his hands folded in his lap, speaking to a small group of attentive listeners. Five people sit on wooden benches to either side: on the left, two women in pink and purple saris and a younger girl; on the right, a young boy in a checked shirt and an older youth in white. The scene resembles a televised satsang stage.2013-07-15 +1 copiesA satsang scene on a stage with ornate gold-painted lion-headed pillars and a red lattice backdrop. A man with long hair and a bare chest sits centrally on a gilded throne with red cushions, wearing an orange-brown dhoti-style cloth and a rudraksha-style necklace, gesturing with his hands. Seated on wooden benches to either side are a woman in a purple sari and a man in a light yellow shirt and dark trousers, facing him. A carved gold pedestal sits before the throne. The man on the throne shows distinctive long hair and saffron-toned cloth with a necklace, which is a probable match for a person and consistent with the page, though the image itself is not a certain identification; he is described by role here as the seated teacher. Three physical people are visible.2013-07-15 +1 copiesA seated figure in an orange-brown sannyasi robe with a gold-yellow border sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a raised stage, hands clasped in front, speaking to an audience.

Behind him stand large golden carved lion-like guardian pillars and a red lattice screen against orange walls. Four seated devotees face him on low wooden benches: on the left a woman in a maroon top and dark sari and a man in a white shirt holding a phone, on the right a woman in a teal sari and an older man in white with a beaded garland. A colourful floral rangoli sits at the stage front.2013-07-18 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20132013-09-21July 17 20132013-07-17A photograph of a satsang on an ornate golden stage.
