A standing man in a flowing saffron-orange robe, draped over one shoulder and sleeveless, with a red dot on his forehead and hair swept back, walks across an orange mat before a seated audience. Many seated participants wear white headbands and white clothing, with some in pale green or yellow shirts, and several water bottles sit on the mat. Behind them is a stage with an orange cloth and a hanging orange lamp shade. A wall plaque and a white curtain are visible in the hall. Whether the standing figure is a person cannot be determined from appearance alone, so he is described by role as a robed speaker or sannyasi.

December 22 20092009-12-22A man with long dark hair swept back, wearing a flowing saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and wrapped around the body, walks forward through a hall in front of rows of seated people. Behind him, many participants sit on the floor with white blindfolds or eye bands tied over their eyes, several with hands folded in anjali, some in white and pastel saris. A few people stand at the back of the hall beside pale walls and doorways. The orange-robed man's distinctive long hair and saffron clothing are visible cues for the page-referenced Swamiji, so the label is probable. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session with blindfolded participants.2010-08-21October 23 20102010-10-23A satsang hall with a standing man in an orange robe and a dark head wrap walking among seated devotees on orange floor mats. Many attendees wear white clothing and white headbands, and some sit on chairs in the foreground. Hanging decorations with yellow, red and blue patterns and orange tassels hang from the ceiling, with a projection screen on the right wall. The man in orange is not wearing the long swept-back hair, crown or rudraksha cues needed to suggest a candidate identity, so his role is best described as a robed teacher or sannyasi moving through the gathering. Many people are visible, with a rough count in the dozens.2010-08-14October 23 20102010-10-23 +1 copiesA large hall with green carpeted aisle filled with seated devotees, many wearing white blindfold-style cloths over their eyes, women in white saris and men in white. In the foreground a man with long dark hair, a red bindi and an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders walks forward down the aisle, appearing to be a person given his long swept-back hair and saffron ochre clothing. Behind him a bald man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl holds a small device. A small banner hangs on the left wall and several people stand near the back.2010-08-21A standing man in an orange-saffron sleeveless wrap, with a red bindi on his forehead, eyes lowered and hands at his sides, in a hall with pale walls and red curtains. Behind him, rows of seated devotees wear white cloth headbands and white clothing, and a gold-coloured ornate decorative piece and hanging orange and blue tassels appear at the top of the frame. The figure is a sannyasi-style devotee, with appearance cues that do not clearly establish the page's claim, so the identity is unsure.2010-08-14October 23 20102010-10-23A barefoot figure in a flowing saffron-orange shawl and a long rudraksha mala walks down the centre aisle of a hall, hands clasped behind the back, eyes lowered. Behind him a large seated audience in white and yellow clothing sits on mats, many wearing white headbands over their eyes. Warm orange banners hang at the top of the hall and the floor is polished and reflective. The scene appears to be a guided meditation or discourse session. Several dozen people are visible.2010-10-23A standing figure in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with a long black rudraksha mala, long swept-back hair and a red tilak stands at the front of a hall, appearing to be a life-size statue or mannequin. Seated devotees in white and pastel clothing, many wearing white blindfolds or eye bands, sit in rows on the floor on both sides, with orange and multicolored tassel hangings and a gold-framed mirror on the wall behind. The polished floor reflects the orange figure. Swamiji (probable) cues: long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, shown as a figure rather than a person.2010-10-23 +1 copiesDecember 06 20092009-12-06A man in a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap stands centre-frame in a hall, walking forward with his long dark hair swept back and a small red bindi on his forehead.
