A photograph of a seated man on a floral and leaf-decorated throne, wearing a white cloth wrap over his shoulders, a white turban-like headpiece with a gold ornament, a red and white beaded garland, and gold jewelry; he is adorned with rudraksha-like red beads and a crown-like headdress, and is receiving offerings. Behind him a large arch of marigolds, roses and green leaves in yellow, red, white and purple arranges the setting. Two people in front, a man in white kurta and a woman in cream sari with a pearl-coloured blouse, bend forward offering flowers, leaves and fruit onto the throne, while a woman in a white sari stands at right and a shaved-headed priest with white forehead markings stands in the background. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair swept back under a crown-like headdress, ornate gold necklaces and a red bead mala; he is seated on the decorated throne as the honoured figure.2013-07-22A photograph of an indoor ceremony in a temple-like hall. A smiling person with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown garment with gold trim, a white shawl, and a long rudraksha-style garland with gold necklaces, bends forward to clasp the hands of a man in a white robe with an orange turban and a red garland. Behind them stands a large floral arrangement of yellow, red, orange and purple flowers, and a gold-framed image is visible at the top. Rose petals scatter on the floor and a hand holds a silver tray at the left edge. Two physical people are clearly visible.2013-01-06July 22 20132013-07-22January 06 20132013-01-06January 06 20132013-01-06 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20162016-01-03January 06 20132013-01-06A seated man in a white turban and cream shawl sits on a golden throne framed by a large arch of marigolds and red roses in yellow, green, red and purple. He wears layered red and white garlands, a rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and a maroon-brown dhoti-style cloth. A young man in white shirt and dhoti bends forward to offer flowers, and an attendant in orange robes stands at right holding a flower garland. Gold and brass ritual vessels, hanging brass bells and floral strands decorate the background. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving the bhiksha offering, with his long hair and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments distinguishing him as the central honoured figure.2013-07-22A photo of a birthday or honouring ceremony in an indoor hall. A seated figure bare-chested, with a pink turban and a white and gold dhoti, wears layered garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. The figure sits on a throne-like seat heaped with marigolds and roses, smiling and raising a hand in greeting. A man in a white shirt bends forward to offer something from a plate and touch the figure's hand. Behind them, a priest in a red-brown dhoti holds a silver tray aloft. To the left, a sannyasi in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala sits beside a golden chair, and a woman in an orange sari and a man in a green shirt stand nearby. A golden throne back frames the scene. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance; cues are limited to the pink turban and garlands.2013-01-06December 23 20162016-12-23July 22 20132013-07-22A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a jasmine-garland canopy, wearing a cream silk kurta with embroidered trim, white dhoti, gold-yellow turban with a red tilak, and a gold necklace, holding a rudraksha mala. A woman in a pale pink shawl kneels before him, touching his foot, while another woman in a grey-beige sari with a black beaded necklace stands at right. Flower garlands surround the throne and marigold petals are scattered at the base. Behind them is a large red-toned banner of a face.2006-12-26
