A courtyard session of seated devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, many with shaved heads, facing a raised seat. A figure with long dark hair and a red-orange cloth sits on a gold-trimmed wooden swing-like throne (peetha) with a microphone and small offerings on a low table before him. Behind the throne a large metal chakra-style wheel hangs on the wall, with brass lamps and a bronze deity figure nearby. A white dressed figure sits among the devotees, and a blank whiteboard stands at the right. Red painted columns frame the hall.

A bearded man in a red-orange garment sits on an elevated golden throne-like seat under a gold canopy, with a microphone and water bottle on a small table before him. Many people sit on the floor facing him: monks and sannyasis in orange robes, some bare-shouldered with rudraksha or beaded necklaces, and devotees in white and blue clothes. Golden trident and kalasha-style ritual objects and bronze deity murti statues stand around the seat, and hanging brass lamps decorate the ceiling. A camera on a tripod is at the right edge. The scene reflects a satsang-style teaching gathering.2016-09-05Photograph of a courtyard session in an ashram hall. A bearded man with a tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair sits on a gold-trimmed raised throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a maroon robe and holding a handheld microphone; a small desk with a red cup sits before him. Seated on the floor in front are several people in saffron-orange robes, some with shaved heads, and one person in a white garment. Behind the throne stand carved wooden pillars, a dancing Nataraja-style metal relief, a bronze figure on the left, and a whiteboard on the right. The white-clothed figure and devotees appear in a ritual teaching setting.2016-09-19September 05 20162016-09-05January 11 20162016-01-11A photograph of a seated audience of devotees in orange and saffron clothing at an open-air courtyard shrine with red walls, stone pillars and a golden trident on a brass stand in the foreground.
