A golden throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth dominates the left side, where a seated figure in orange-brown robes with a gold-bordered sash and a red-and-white flower garland is partly visible, feet resting on the platform. In front, a round golden tray holds many silver bowls of fruit, flowers and sweets with red blossoms. Around it sit several women in orange and saffron clothing with rudraksha malas; one man in a white kurta and glasses sits near the centre, and a woman in white with beads sits behind him. The setting is a dark room with a carved wooden door on the right.2013-08-19February 24 20132013-02-24May 19 20132013-05-19A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with yellow borders and a long red-and-white flower garland, with bangles on his arms. Seated on the floor before the throne, a man in white with a red shawl and a woman in white with a white forehead mark face the seated figure; several women in saffron and green saris with forehead marks and rudraksha malas serve from brass trays of flower petals, pink blossoms and oil lamps. A brass hanging lamp and bell hang behind the throne beside a dark panelled wall and a wooden door. The scene reads as a devotional offering or puja, and the seated man's appearance matches the page's claim of Swamiji's presence, with his long hair, gold ornaments, rudraksha and saffron-tone clothing, though the image is not conclusive.2013-07-02August 29 20142014-08-29A seated figure in orange robes with a red and white flower garland sits on a gilded throne-like seat, their feet resting on a golden tray filled with silver bowls of flowers, oil and offerings in a padapuja-style worship. Several devotees kneel around the tray: an older man in a white shirt with hands folded in prayer, a woman in a teal green saree with gold jewellery and bangles, a woman in a white saree with a purple border, and a younger woman in red. Two more women in the foreground, one in an orange top and one in white with an orange border, sit facing the tray. Pink and purple flower petals are scattered among the bowls, and a pink curtain and framed picture hang on the wall behind.2013-01-31A photograph inside a small dark ceremonial room during a padapuja.
