A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and carved gold backrest. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a rudraksha mala on his wrist, and is adjusting a black eye mask over his eyes with both hands. Behind him a bald attendant in an orange-brown cloth and wooden bead necklace leans in to adjust the mask, with a red, green and white floral garland hanging at upper left and a dark purple sparkling backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and throne are consistent with the page's claim, but the appearance is not conclusive, so this is a seated devotee-style figure in an orange robe on a throne. A gold-framed throne and ceremonial setting suggest a staged stage event.2016-12-21Photo 11712491November 16 20152015-11-16September 20 20172017-09-20 +1 copiesDecember 21 20162016-12-21A seated figure on a gilded throne with red tiger-striped cushions is having a forehead anointed by a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes with white markings on his arms and chest.
