A photograph of an indoor satsang in a hall lit by warm lamps. A man with bare upper body and a garland of flowers sits in a large orange-upholstered armchair, seemingly leading discourse. A brass oil lamp stands on a table covered with orange cloth and flowers. Seated devotees in white, checked and striped shirts fill the foreground, while standing men in white dhotis and orange robes line the background beside decorated golden deity murtis and a green-and-gold palanquin or ratha. Green tinsel and pink decorations frame the left side. A poster-like corner logo appears at the top left.

Facing the scene, a crowd of men in white dhotis and white shirts stands and gathers around an area with a fire or lamp glow near a low platform. A man in a red-orange shawl and dhoti stands in the centre, and a bare-chested man in white stands at the far left beside a green and gold decorated deity murti with a golden crown. Two golden deity statues stand on pedestals at the lower right, and a colourful garland of orange, yellow and red hangs overhead. The seated figure is the orange-clad person in the chair; no appearance-based cues for a person are sufficient to identify them, so they are described by role only.2014-10-02August 07 20172017-08-07May 26 20172017-05-26Outdoor discourse stage under a tent, with a seated figure on a red cushioned seat in front of a golden throne-like chair, dressed in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala. Dozens of bare-chested devotees in white dhotis with sacred threads sit on the ground facing the stage, many seen from behind. Behind the stage are a decorated deity murti with flower garlands, a golden kalasha-style ornament and a saffron cloth hanging from the pole. Cameras on tripods and speaker boxes flank the stage, and a green tree line shows through the mesh fencing.2017-05-26A photograph of an evening satsang held outdoors in a courtyard of paved tiles. On the right, a man in orange-red robes with a mala of beads and a sandalwood-marked forehead sits on an orange cushioned throne-like chair, speaking with one hand raised; the appearance is consistent with the candidate described on the page but identity is uncertain. Behind him stand a man in an orange and gold dhoti and a man in white. Seated on the floor facing him are about ten devotees, mostly men in white, grey and striped shirts, with one woman in white at the centre. To the left, a row of gilded bronze deity and attendant murti figures stands on pedestals. Strings of green and purple tinsel decorate the glass-walled building behind, and a dark car is parked near the entrance.2014-10-02February 18 20152015-02-18Indoor satsang hall with a metal roof and patterned hanging decorations. A man in an orange robe with a saffron-orange garland sits on a red cushioned throne with gold trim, flanked by orange and gold flag poles, speaking into a microphone. Seated before him on a red-and-white rug and mats are many devotees: monks in orange robes, a white-clad man in a yellow shawl, and others in white and orange clothes. Oil lamps line the floor in front, and a golden kalasha-like object stands on a platform behind. A red wavy wall painting decorates the right side.2009-12-01September 24 20172017-09-24 +1 copies
