A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-red shawl and rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions, hands joined in greeting and smiling. A bald man in white kneels and bows low at his feet on a red cloth. To the right, a woman in a red sari with a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on the red cloth with hands folded. A silver trident and a kalasha-like lion-footed throne base are visible, with a painted cloudy sky backdrop showing a deity murti. The seated man on the throne is a person by appearance cues: long swept hair, saffron-red shawl, rudraksha mala and ceremonial throne setting.2018-05-04A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a seated man in a silver-and-red throne chair, wearing a deep red-brown robe, multiple gold beaded necklaces, rudraksha bracelets and a red tilak on the forehead, with long dark hair and a full beard. He is placing his hand on the head of a shaved-headed bare-backed man kneeling before him, appearing to bless or initiate him. Behind them are gold and red deity murti and a golden kalasha-like shrine element. A figure in orange robes stands at the right holding a white cord. The setting suggests a deeksha or blessing ritual at the Nithyanandeshwara Temple during Navaratri. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and rudraksha mala, a shawl-like robe and a throne, which together give probable Swamiji cues.2017-09-26May 05 20152015-05-05September 30 20172017-09-30A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, a small red tilak on his forehead, and a rust-red sleeveless robe, smiling as he places his right hand on the crown of the head of a kneeling man whose back is to the camera. The kneeling man wears a white dhoti with a yellow border and a red-and-white garland. The seated figure sits on an ornate silver-gold throne with leopard-print cushions and a carved silver lion-head armrest. Behind them stands a tall tiered temple-tower replica lit in red and orange against a green starry background.2017-09-26 +1 copiesA seated man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead rests his right hand on the head of a shaved-headed young man kneeling in front of him in a blessing gesture. The seated man wears a saffron-orange robe, a gold ceremonial necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and sits on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion beside a silver lion carving. The kneeling man wears a white t-shirt, an orange shawl printed with script and a brown bead necklace. A red velvet curtain forms the background, and a person in white stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure blessing the devotee, based on the long hair, saffron robe, gold necklace and mala.2017-10-01April 26 20182018-04-26May 07 20172017-05-07May 19 20182018-05-19 +1 copies
