A photograph taken from behind of a shaved-headed figure in an orange-saffron robe seated on a green floor facing a large red velvet curtain on a stage. Beside him at left sit people in white clothing, and at right a person in white with a white headband. A brass vessel and a small bell rest on the green floor near the seated figure. The white stage platform with steps stands below the curtain. The visible figures number roughly four, including partly visible people at the edges.

A shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe sits with his back to the camera on a green floor before a wall of deep red velvet curtains. A small brass oil lamp sits on the floor beside him. To the left, a person in white with a white cloth tied on the head sits in profile, and a partially visible figure in white appears at the lower left and right edges. The saffron-robed figure is a monastic seated in front of a stage; the image shows no clear face and no readable identity cues beyond the robe and shaved head.2010-08-08A photograph taken from behind of a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes sitting on a pale stage edge, facing a large red velvet curtain. A seated person in white clothing is partially visible at the left edge of the frame. The curtain's folds are lit warmly from above.2010-08-08A photograph taken from behind a dark silhouetted figure in the foreground, whose arm is raised toward a lit oil lamp on a white pedestal at left. Beyond, framed by heavy red velvet curtains, a seated figure in orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne against a bright green backdrop decorated with greenery and flowers, with hands pressed together in greeting. A large screen above shows a blue image. The scene resembles an arati lamp offering at a stage event; the seated figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person given orange clothing and a throne setting, though the figure is small and distant.2010-08-08February 01 20102010-02-01A dim indoor hall with a red-and-black draped curtain behind a low white stage platform. In the foreground, a silhouetted person with a shaved head and dark clothing sits with their back to the camera, holding a small oil lamp flame near the bottom. A lit candle or lamp flame glows on the stage. A partially visible person sits at the left edge and another at the right edge.2010-08-08Photograph of a ceremony on a raised white stage before a dark red curtain and a golden canopy. A figure in orange robes stands at the centre of the stage behind a flower-garlanded altar with a deity murti, with a pair of orange-robed attendants in the foreground. Several people in white clothing sit on the floor in front of the altar, some holding ritual items. In the foreground, a man with a shaved head wears an orange wrap over his shoulder and looks toward the stage; another orange-clad man stands at the right edge. Ornate pillars and decorative columns flank the altar, and a lit lamp and offerings are arranged at the sides.2010-11-15A photograph of a ceremonial hall with dark red curtains and a raised stage. On a red and gold throne at the centre sits a figure in orange robes with a crown-like headdress, flanked by a garland of marigolds, while a seated attendant in orange robes sits at the foot of the dais, apparently offering something. Two people in the foreground sit on mats facing the stage: one in white with long dark hair, another in orange robes with dark hair. Oil lamps and lit candles line the floor, and incense smoke rises at the sides. A plate of offerings sits on the floor near the front. Visible identification cue: the seated central figure wears orange ochre robes, a crown and a garland, so this is a probable Swamiji presence.2009-10-17An indoor hall with a deep red velvet curtain backdrop and a scalloped gold valance. A figure in orange saffron robes sits on an orange cushioned throne-style seat behind a white podium, with a small tray of offerings on the table. Rows of seated audience members in white shirts and light clothing face the stage on black plastic chairs, viewed from behind. Ceiling fans and fluorescent lights hang overhead, and a further orange-robed person sits at the left edge near a wooden cabinet. The scene looks like a discourse session. The person on the throne is an orange-robed speaker; the a person field is set to unsure because appearance cues are limited at this distance.2010-09-08January 02 20102010-01-02 +2 copiesA dim indoor stage with a red-and-black draped curtain behind it. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind, wearing a dark wrap over the shoulders, sits facing a white panel lit by small oil lamp flames on the floor. A partially visible person in light clothing sits at the far left edge, and another partial figure appears at the bottom right corner. The scene suggests a lamp-lighting or puja at the front of a stage.2010-08-08A stage photograph framed by heavy red velvet curtains drawn back to reveal a lit stage. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a throne-like chair before a green backdrop decorated with garlands and flowers, with a bright flame or lamp glowing beside them. In the foreground, a silhouetted person with a shaved head, dressed in dark clothing, raises one arm toward the stage. The seated figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, and the foreground figure is in shadow.2010-08-08December 02 20092009-12-02
