Three men in white shirts stand in the foreground, their backs and profiles partly turned toward the seated figure. The figure appears to be a person, seated in the role of the honoured guru receiving devotees, with the three men as attendant devotees. An orange-coloured wall forms the background.2012-01-08April 21 20132013-04-21A golden temple-like interior shows a seated man in red and gold ceremonial clothing and a large gold necklace, with a shaved-head-free dark hair bun, smiling on a red-cushioned throne framed by a floral arch of yellow marigolds, red and white flowers and green leaves. A gold kalasha-style canopy and gilded relief carvings surround him. A white-clad priest with a trident-shaped ornament and marigold garland stands at left, an attendant in saffron cloth kneels beside the throne next to a dark basin decorated with yellow flowers, and a long-haired woman in saffron robes stands at right with other devotees in white. A bare-chested figure is not visible; the seated man is shown in ceremonial garb consistent with peetha honouring. Temple abhishekam-style offering scene.2016-07-19A ceremonial puja on a stage before a large floral arch of concentric rainbow bands of marigold and white flowers. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes, with a long beard, rudraksha mala and multiple garlands, sits on a gold throne draped with red cushions, receiving offerings. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders and necklaces stand at left, a bare-chested attendant with a sacred thread and a bearded man in a grey kurta assist beside the throne. A woman with long dreadlocked hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and bead bangles, while others in red and saffron saris stand nearby. Offerings of fruit, flowers and a flower-decked seat fill the foreground, and a gold umbrella canopy and a dark deity murti appear above.2016-12-23A photograph inside a temple hall. A seated man in a rust-red robe with long rudraksha malas and a gold-and-pearl garland smiles at a devotee who bows before him with hands folded near the seat. A bearded attendant in white dhoti with a bare shoulder and a dark bead armband stands at left holding a cloth. Behind them, garlands of yellow marigolds and red and white flowers decorate a tall backdrop, and women in saris stand at right. A brass ornamental panel and a microphone stand are visible. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas, matching the page's reference to a person, though the appearance is not conclusive.2015-07-31December 23 20162016-12-23A seated man in orange-brown robes on a red-cushioned throne smiles broadly while wearing a large garland of white, red and yellow flowers and a rudraksha mala. A long dark braid of hair is wrapped on top of his head, and he wears gold bangles on his right arm. In front of him a man in a cream kurta kneels, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together beside a woman in red-orange clothing with long dreadlocks. A gold-plated backdrop with a golden relief, a red and yellow flower-decorated arch behind the throne, and a gold vessel with loose flowers suggest a ritual offering setting. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, ornate gold armband and jewellery, and a garland, and the page identifies him as present.2016-07-19A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a richly decorated golden throne draped with a large arch of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, orange and purple. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads and a red flower garland, and gold bangles. A bare-chested figure is not clearly shown. To his left, a man in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered shawl and a younger man in a white shirt holding a brass plate of fruit and a sash stand before the throne, with an elderly man at the left edge. Red velvet curtains and a bald figure in white appear behind. Appearance-based identification is probable: the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. a person is seated on the throne receiving the offering.2012-01-01
