January 13 20152015-01-13Outdoor evening satsang on a raised golden throne platform draped with white cloth and maroon valance. A seated figure on the golden throne wears a tall gold crown, a red and white garland, and gold necklaces, with a long dark braid visible; the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so this figure is described only by role as the seated presider. Around the platform sit devotees in white and cream clothes, one in a brown shirt, and a monk in saffron robes with an orange turban at the right edge. Some attendees are in orange and red saris, and a red plastic chair sits in the foreground. Ornate gold carved panels and a dark tree line appear in the background.2015-01-13January 03 20162016-01-03January 13 20152015-01-13A photograph of a pada puja in progress. A man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a large garland of red and yellow flowers with green leaves. He holds his hands together in prayer. Devotees in white and yellow clothing sit before him; one bald man in white holds a lit oil lamp aloft toward the seated figure, and another man reaches forward with a lamp. A woman with braided hair in a yellow top sits nearby, and a bald man in a white robe with a saffron shawl sits to the left. A bowl of fruit. A woman with curly hair and a golden blouse sits in the foreground, and a silver-tone plate is visible at lower left.2010-09-18January 13 20152015-01-13September 17 20102010-09-17Outdoor evening satsang under a draped tent. On the right, a figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a gold crown and a thick multicolour flower garland wears saffron-orange cloth and gold necklaces, raising a hand in blessing. Before the throne, a crowd sits on a raised orange-draped platform: men in white dhotis and shirts, one in an orange shawl, women in saris and a purple salwar, and a girl in gold. A large deity murti in a gold-decorated palanquin or ratha, garlanded with flowers in red, yellow and purple, stands behind them. Gold kalasha-like ornaments and red chairs appear at the bottom edge.2015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13A festive outdoor event under a white and pink tent, with a golden throne draped in marigold garlands and red roses at the right. A seated figure in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl sits on the throne, extending an arm toward a plate of apples while a man in white shirt stands beside him. Standing nearby are two men in orange robes with rudraksha malas, one wearing a gold necklace, and a young man in an orange shirt. Devotees in white and in pink and red saris stand with hands folded in namaskar in the foreground, and a larger crowd fills the tent behind them. Swamiji (probable) is a central figure on the throne, identified by his long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklace and golden shawl, but this is an appearance-based label only.2010-01-01A photograph of a satsang in a hall with a gold-framed throne draped in garlands of yellow, orange, purple and white flowers. A long-haired figure in a pink dhoti-style garment and a pink shawl, wearing a gold-and-beige bead necklace, sits on a red-cushioned seat, with a microphone at right. Behind and beside him sits a seated deity murti or framed image, draped in pink and garlanded. Around the throne, a man in white with a black beaded mala and a woman in a yellow top sit near brass trays of fruit, flowers and small lamps. A shaved-headed man in orange and another in white sit at left, and several women's heads are visible in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated long-haired figure in pink with rudraksha-style beads and a gold necklace of ritual adornment.2010-12-26October 17 20102010-10-17
