A photograph of a stage satsang. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and an ochre-saffron wrap with gold border, sits on a red velvet throne flanked by golden lion statues, gesturing with his right hand while speaking into a headset microphone. Two women in ochre saffron sarees with gold borders sit beside him: the one on the left wears a black bead necklace and holds her hands together, the one on the right wears a rudraksha mala and looks down at a mobile phone. A large backdrop shows a painted face and a hand. A low gold-trimmed stool sits in front of the throne on a red patterned rug. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and a throne setting; the throne is noted only as context.2013-07-22A seated man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne, raising a silver trident in his right hand. He wears a large beaded rudraksha mala with a gold medallion. Standing to his left, a woman in an orange sari reads from papers, and beside her a woman in a cream sari with a green-and-white shawl also holds papers. Behind them is a gold altar holding deity murtis, with a plaque reading Sri Vyambakeshwar, and a striped canopy overhead inside a draped tent.2015-09-21July 22 20132013-07-22January 12 20152015-01-12May 27 20152015-05-27August 16 20142014-08-16September 19 20152015-09-19September 14 20142014-09-14June 12 20142014-06-12September 21 20152015-09-21A photograph of a ceremony at night beside an open flame at the bottom of the frame. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved, rounded back wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange shawl, a heavy multi-strand beaded necklace and bangles, and holds a small flower-tipped staff with yellow blossoms. To his left, a shirtless man in orange cloth with a white-and-red forehead marking and dark rudraksha beads looks on, and to his right a woman in a red-orange sari with a gold border and rudraksha mala gazes upward. The seated man's appearance matches the page's a person reference only loosely, so his identity remains uncertain; the other two are attendants in ritual dress.2015-11-24October 25 20152015-10-25
