January 30 20162016-01-30A seated man in a gold-and-red ornate throne wears a rust-orange shawl, a long gold bead necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and a long swept-back hairstyle with a tilak on his forehead. He sits with palms pressed together in namaste before a white-and-yellow cloth-wrapped bundle on a plate of pink and purple flower petals. A shirtless attendant with white body markings and a rudraksha mala leans forward to offer the plate. Behind them a gold-carved pillar and red draped cloth complete the satsang stage setting. Two people are visible.2016-06-30January 30 20162016-01-30April 11 20182018-04-11A photograph of a seated figure in a red-orange robe with a black turban and a rudraksha mala draped across the chest, receiving a steel bowl of white cloth from a standing younger man. The standing man wears an orange garment, a silver-toned chain necklace, a rudraksha bracelet and a painted white horizontal band on his upper arm, and his hair is tied up with a band. Behind them stands an ornate gold repoussé backdrop with a red cushioned seat. The seated man, appearing as a probable Swamiji by his swept turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial ornamentation, receives the bowl of offerings in what looks like a vishesha deeksha initiation.2018-04-11 +1 copiesJuly 28 20172017-07-28 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremony on a stage with dark red velvet drapes.
