July 03 20122012-07-03A photograph at a night satsang event. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, draped in orange saffron robes, a red and yellow marigold garland around his neck, and a dark rudraksha-style mala near his waist. Swamiji (probable) is the presiding teacher: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial garlands. Seated before him on the floor, a young woman in an orange sari presses her palms together in namaskar, another woman in a red sari and a woman in a green sari do the same, and a young woman in a white top watches. A foreground woman with blonde hair leans forward holding a plate of rice and flowers, possibly offering padapuja. A white tower cooler, a gold-and-red floral canopy and string lights frame the scene, with more people in the dark background.2012-07-03July 03 20122012-07-03Night-time outdoor satsang under a open tent. A man seated on an ornate gilded golden throne with a tiger-striped cushion wears an orange-saffron robe and a garland of red flowers and green beads, with long swept-back hair; the appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) candidate, seated in a position of honour and speaking to the gathering. Beside the throne a woman in an orange sari sits on the ground before a gold plate of offerings with a small lamp. Further along, a man in a cream shirt and white dhoti, an elderly woman in a green sari, and an older woman in a white sari sit facing the dais. A standing fan and string lights are behind; several people in white clothing move in the background.2012-07-03July 03 20122012-07-03July 03 20122012-07-03Night outdoor satsang under a white tent with string lights. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron garment and a multicoloured flower garland, sits on an ornate gold-and-cream throne decorated with flowers and a tiger-skin cover. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and garland, seated on the throne. Nearby, a woman in white with folded hands sits, and a man in white kneels before him; a woman in a red blouse and white sari, plus a bald monk in orange robes, sit close by. A woman in a light blouse offers items on a brass plate, and a white portable fan and a van sit in the background among onlookers.2012-07-03A seated man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-like figure, wearing an orange-brown cloth with a yellow border, a red flower garland, gold necklaces, a gold armband, and bare feet. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron-toned clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated on the throne as devotees perform a puja. Around him, devotees in white and orange clothing with orange shawls and rudraksha-style beads offer silver thali plates of flowers, lamps and red-petalled offerings at his feet. Brass bells and oil lamps hang above, and a wall air conditioner is mounted on the black wall.2013-05-25May 25 20132013-05-25September 16 20132013-09-16May 24 20132013-05-24January 31 20132013-01-31
