February 20 20132013-02-20A photograph in a dark room with a golden ornate throne. A seated figure on the right wears an orange-saffron turban, orange robes, layered rudraksha malas and a gold chain, with a gold bracelet on the arm and bare feet resting on a golden footstool. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of saffron turban, saffron robes and layered rudraksha malas match the page's identification, though the person is not fully identifiable. Before him, two men sit on the floor: one on the left in white dhoti with an orange-bordered shawl, white tripundra on the forehead and white markings on the shoulders, hands folded; another in white shirt and trousers with folded hands. Brass trays hold red flowers, fruit, small bowls and a lit brass oil lamp stands nearby. A studio light and a framed picture are visible in the background.2013-02-20A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing saffron-orange robes, a saffron head wrap, layered rudraksha and beaded necklaces, and gold bangles. A brass oil lamp burns beside the throne. In front, a man in white dhoti with a white forehead band and white body markings sits with hands folded, and another man in white kurta with folded hands sits nearby. Silver thali trays holding red flowers, yellow offerings and small vessels are arranged on the floor. The setting is a dark-walled room with a small mirror and lighting equipment.2013-02-20A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a dark-walled room. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha and pearl malas, a white forehead mark and pearl bracelets sits on an ornate gold throne with a lion-carved base and a white-and-black striped cloth on the seat, his bare feet resting on a silver tray of flower petals and offerings. Seated to his right, a man in white dhoti and shawl with glasses and an orange lanyard keeps his hands folded. Two more attendants kneel at the foot of the throne: a figure in pink with a white forehead mark and a man in white with a white tilak and orange lanyard, tending brass and silver bowls, fruit, flowers and coconut. A brass oil lamp and bell hang nearby, and a studio light and draped curtain are visible at the right. The orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji candidate by the cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha and pearl malas, and pearl adornments, shown seated on the throne and receiving the puja.2013-03-16February 20 20132013-02-20February 20 20132013-02-20May 19 20132013-05-19August 16 20142014-08-16 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with red leather back, wearing a red turban, saffron-red robes with gold border, a long beaded rudraksha-style mala and a large gold pendant necklace, with a microphone stand beside him. A devotee in a white shirt and red shawl bends low to touch or honour his feet, while a young attendant in white with an orange shawl holds a silver tray. Behind them are silver-plated shrine frames and a green-clad deity murti with garlands. The figure matches the Swamiji profile: the page says Swamiji was at this event and his appearance shows a red turban, saffron-red robes, mala and gold pendant, so this is a probable identification. Two people are visible.2015-09-16February 20 20132013-02-20February 20 20132013-02-20A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and an orange shawl with a long orange-beaded mala and gold necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with plush red cushions, as a probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark and ornate gold bangles. A shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a gold border kneels at left with palms joined in prayer, and a second man in a white shirt sits beside him with hands folded. In front, a gold tray holds silver puja plates with yellow marigolds, petals, lit oil lamps and a heap of red and white flowers at the feet of the seated figure. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands behind the throne in a dark room with a studio light.2013-02-19
