December 27 20152015-12-27A photograph of a seated man in a red turban and red-and-saffron robes, with a rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, on an ornate golden throne flanked by carved lion heads. He smiles while extending his right hand to bless a woman in a white sari with a red border who bends forward with folded hands over a brass tray. A man in white and red stands beside her. Behind them stand silver and gold deity murtis, decorated with garlands and jewellery, and gold-tipped ritual lamps. The scene suggests a darshan or blessing setting. The man's appearance matches the page's claimed identity through several cues: a turban, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha and a gold necklace, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable).2015-09-16September 08 20122012-09-08A seated man in a rust-red robe with a long rudraksha mala draped to his lap sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lions and floral scrollwork, smiling and gesturing with his right hand. A tiger-striped cloth covers the throne base, and a red cushion sits behind him. Before him, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a red border bows low and reaches toward him in ritual homage. To the left, a young man in saffron-orange robes and a gold chain necklace stands watching, with red bangles on his wrist. The setting is a golden-throne ceremony, consistent with a padapuja or honouring ritual.2016-05-24May 01 20142014-05-01A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-wood throne with carved lion heads and a trident-topped staff beside it wears orange and saffron robes, a grey shawl, rudraksha-style beads and gold bangles, with a red tilak on the forehead. The figure holds an orange cloth draped over the lap, while a man in white kurta with a red shawl kneels and bows with folded hands at the throne's base. A standing man in white with an orange shawl and a woman in red stand nearby. A framed still-life painting hangs on the wall and pink flowers sit in a vase at right. Appearance-based label: a person on the throne, wearing saffron robes with a grey shawl and rudraksha-style beads, with a kneeling devotee in white performing padapuja-style obeisance.2012-12-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure on a gold-and-leather throne with lion-head armrests, in front of a silver-ornamented shrine with a deity murti and pink-clad figure behind. The seated person wears a red turban, a red and gold garment, a brown beaded rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, and holds a small glass or crystal object aloft while speaking into a microphone. Two people in white kneel before the throne in obeisance; one wears a red shawl, the other is bent low with head near the throne. A standing attendant in red stands at the back-left. Probable Swamiji cues: red turban, rudraksha mala and gold pendant on the throned figure, with the throne and devotees kneeling to him.2015-09-16A pada puja ceremony on a stage. A long-haired figure in a striped tiger-print garment with orange drape and a tall beaded crown sits on a red velvet throne with a gold lion-headed armrest, extending hands toward a kneeling girl in a maroon dress with a red garland. A man in white dhoti with folded hands and glasses stands before them beside a young boy in white. A saffron-robed priest holds a plate with fruit and a second robed man holds an offering tray behind. Floral offerings and a decorated deity figure appear in the background, along with a large screen. Six or more people are visible.2012-12-20October 03 20172017-10-03 +1 copiesMay 01 20142014-05-01August 09 20152015-08-09January 22 20142014-01-22
