Night photo of a ritual at an outdoor pavilion with gold drapes and a gold canopy overhead. A seated man in red and gold clothing, wearing layered garlands of flowers and a gold chain, sits on a gold throne. Before him, an older priest in white dhoti and shawl, with white markings on his arms, bows and touches his feet. Around them stand devotees: men in orange and saffron garments, women in orange, maroon and white saris with garlands, and a young man with white facial markings. Two white pots and a small offering of flowers sit on the floor. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate only partially supported by visible cues, so the identity remains uncertain.2017-07-08A photograph inside a white-tented hall during a devotional gathering. In the foreground, a man in white with an orange shawl and two people in white clothes stand with their backs to the camera, facing a golden ornate seat decorated with flower garlands and a golden canopy. On the left, a young man in an orange robe with a gold necklace holds a ritual item and faces the seat. Behind them, several people in white and orange clothing stand close together, and a woman in a white sari with an orange border is visible on the right. Ceiling fans and white drapes frame the hall.2009-07-07December 29 20102010-12-29July 17 20082008-07-17December 29 20102010-12-29July 15 20112011-07-15 +2 copiesJanuary 13 20152015-01-13December 29 20102010-12-29Inside a white canopy tent at a temple event, a figure in orange robes with a red shawl and long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a floral-garlanded canopy and a trishul placed beside it. Devotees in white, yellow and green saris and white dhotis stand in a line on a blue carpet scattered with petals, offering flowers and reaching forward to the seated figure. A rock-work backdrop holds painted deity figures, and a cameraman in orange stands at the right. The scene suggests a padapuja-style honouring of the seated figure, though the seated person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.2009-07-07A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja at a floral-decorated stage with gold drapes and a white flower canopy. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a garland of yellow flowers around the neck. A bald man in white kurta bends forward with palms joined, offering reverence, and a woman in an orange sari with yellow flowers holds a small plate beside the throne. A woman in red blouse and white sari and a woman in yellow dupatta stand near the throne. On the left, a man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala stands beside men in white shirts. Red and white flower garlands decorate the throne and stage. Appearance-based cues: the seated figure has long hair and saffron clothing and garland; the page indicates a Swamiji presence, so this is a probable match.2010-02-07May 22 20162016-05-22November 12 20102010-11-12
