A photograph of a ceremonial aarti or puja on a red-carpeted stage. A seated man in an orange turban and orange robe with a white and red flower garland sits on an ornate throne-like chair, eyes closed, holding a stick. In front, women in saris, one in yellow and one in red-and-gold, sit on the floor offering a tiered multi-flame oil lamp. Behind them a large printed portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban with a red bindi fills the left side, a bird figurine sits on a ledge, and a garlanded throne-like backdrop glows with bokeh lights.2012-04-01April 01 20122012-04-01April 01 20122012-04-01March 31 20122012-03-31A photograph of a ceremonial gathering on a red stage. A man seated on an ornate dark-wood throne wears an orange turban with a red bindi, an orange robe, a long white jasmine garland with red flowers, and gold bangles; he holds a ceremonial staff and has a long swept-back hair style. Behind him a large portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban with a red forehead mark. Around him, several devotees sit on the floor: a woman in green with gold bangles at left, an older man in white, a man in white, a woman in yellow, a woman in maroon with floral pattern, and a woman in red and gold saree at right. Green palm fronds and white flowers decorate the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated man on the throne, identified by orange turban, orange robe and garland cues.2012-04-01 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, long beaded necklaces and gold bangles sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion, smiling as devotees kneel before him.

A seated figure on an ornate cream-and-black throne wears an orange turban, orange robe, a long white-and-red flower garland and a red bindi, with hands raised in a blessing gesture. Before him, a robed attendant in orange holds a multi-tier brass aarti lamp with lit flames. Several devotees in white, yellow, red and green saris and white shirts sit on the floor with offerings. A large backdrop shows an enlarged portrait of a smiling man in an orange turban with a red bindi, surrounded by marigold garlands and a golden light-ray background. The turbaned seated figure has distinctive orange turban, saffron robe and garland cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.2012-04-01November 25 20112011-11-25 +1 copiesJuly 07 20122012-07-07April 01 20122012-04-01September 15 20112011-09-15
