Photograph of a seated man in a golden ornate throne with a deep red cushioned seat, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and shawl with gold borders, a long rudraksha mala with a large gold pendant, gold armlets, long swept-back dark hair and a white vertical tilak on his forehead. He looks down reading a small white paper slip held in both hands. A man in a white striped short-sleeved shirt and glasses stands at right, bending forward and handing or receiving the slip. Behind them is a large printed backdrop of temple pillars and a deity image, with red and gold tones. Identity cues: long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold pendant consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in person.2012-01-08A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala over his chest, and a red tilak on his forehead, sitting on an orange cushioned seat before a golden altar.

A kneeling man in a white shirt with folded hands sits at the right near the throne. Gold-carved throne back, pillars and temple interior with a brass lamp are visible. The scene suggests a ritual honouring at a temple setting.2012-05-14A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala draped over the chest sits on an orange cushioned seat in front of a gilded shrine.
