A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne in front of a temple shrine with a yellow and purple deity murti draped with garlands. Around him, shaven-headed priests in white dhotis with yellow shawls and a woman in white with an orange shawl hold lit oil lamps and aarti flames, while brass plates with offerings sit on a gold table in the foreground. The scene appears to be a pada-puja-style ritual. The man's appearance matches visible cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated as honoured guest.2010-08-09September 13 20142014-09-13September 15 20122012-09-15April 26 20122012-04-26A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate red and gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing orange robes, a rudraksha-style gold necklace of beads, gold armlets and a white tilak on the forehead, with long dark hair swept back.
