Close-up of a golden throne seat draped in red cloth and heaped with yellow marigold garlands and white jasmine strings. A pair of bare feet in white trousers with gold-threaded checks rests on a red cushion, while a man in white shirt stands at left with a hand near the feet. Fallen white petals are scattered across the red fabric, and a green leaf garland hangs at right beside an ornate gold frame.2010-12-29Close photograph of a devotee bowing with forehead touching the feet of a seated person dressed in white with gold-threaded border garments. The seated figure rests on a red brocade cushion atop an ornate gold throne base, surrounded by yellow marigold garlands, white jasmine strands and scattered white petals. A bright orange cloth edge appears at the right. Only the bowing devotee's head and the feet of the seated person are visible, with partial white-clad figures at the upper left. Padapuja is suggested by the feet-worship posture, but the seated person cannot be identified from the visible frame, so the a person value stays unsure.2010-12-29A close photograph of a bare-footed seated figure on a gold-trimmed throne-like seat draped in red cloth and heaped with yellow and white flower garlands. A person in white clothing bends forward at the left edge, apparently touching or honouring the feet, with white rose petals scattered on the red cushion. An orange-robed figure is partly visible at the lower left, and a gold-edged red seat with a golden kalasha-like vessel appears at the right. The seated person's face is not visible; the scene reads as a padapuja-style veneration ritual.2010-12-29July 31 20152015-07-31Close-up photograph of a seated figure in a rust-brown robe on a red-cushioned gilt chair, one bare foot resting on the lower step and one hand with a gold ring and gold bangle resting on the knee. Red and white bead garlands and yellow marigold garlands with red flowers drape the chair and figure, with a second figure in saffron-orange robes and white garment at the right edge, partially visible. The setting is a ceremonial seat with gilded fittings.2016-07-19Close-up photograph of a seated person in orange robes resting one hand on a red velvet cushion. The cushion is wrapped in marigold garlands, with yellow and purple blossoms on the left and white and pink flowers on the right. A polished gold metal edge is visible at the lower left, and scattered petals lie on the cushion. Only a single hand and orange-clad arm are visible, so no face is shown and the person cannot be identified; the cushion and garlands suggest a seat of honour.2010-10-12October 11 20162016-10-11A photograph of a seated sannyasi on a gold and red throne draped with yellow marigold garlands and green leaf festoons, backed by gold embossed relief panels. The seated figure wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, red and white beaded malas, ceremonial gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a red tilak, eyes closed and smiling. A trident stands at left. In the foreground a man in white clothes prostrates in full obeisance with his forehead to the red floor, near yellow flower petals and a folded orange cloth.2016-07-19A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and a long garland of yellow, red and white flowers with green leaves, sitting on a red cushioned throne set against an ornate gold backrest decorated with marigolds and roses. A man in a cream shirt and white dhoti stands at left, leaning in to place a hand near the seated figure's shoulder. At right, a woman in white with a black beaded necklace stands beside a woman in white bowing low with hands joined, and another person's hand touches the bowing woman's back. The figure wears a red tilak on the forehead and a rudraksha-style mala with gold beads around the neck. Floral arrangements of orange and purple flowers fill the background.2010-10-24December 17 20062006-12-17May 24 20162016-05-24A photograph of a seated man on a gold-and-red throne decorated with marigold and orange flowers. He wears an orange garment, long swept-back hair, a white tilak on the forehead with a red bindi, and a layered garland of yellow marigolds, pink flowers and green leaves. A man in a white shirt places the garland at his neck from the left. To the right, a smiling woman in a white sari with gold border and a mangalsutra stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in the orange garment with long swept-back hair and a garland is being honoured on a throne, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.2010-10-24
