A photograph of a padapuja-style offering at a gilded altar. An orange-robed figure seated on an ornate gold throne is partly visible at the top, with only the orange cloth and bare feet showing. Several women in the foreground, seen from behind with dark hair, hold small glass cups or oil lamps and reach toward the feet. One woman on the right wears a patterned blue and white sari and another wears orange. Glass dishes, a red rose and small lit lamps sit on the gold table. Stacked boxes and a glass shelf appear at the upper right. No a person candidate is identifiable by appearance, so the orange-robed figure is described only by clothing and role.2009-12-16August 15 20102010-08-15February 24 20132013-02-24May 10 20132013-05-10August 01 20102010-08-01January 23 20112011-01-23 +1 copiesNovember 12 20102010-11-12August 15 20102010-08-15September 14 20092009-09-14December 07 20092009-12-07A photograph of a ritual scene in an indoor hall. On a large ornate gold throne with red cushions sits a long-haired man in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala, seated in meditative pose; he appears to be the Swamiji (probable), given his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala. Before the throne, a group of devotees sits on the floor in white and orange garments; several women in yellow-bordered white saris and devotees in white dhotis hold lit oil lamps and offer flowers, while a silver plate with flowers and fruit sits in front. Incense smoke rises from the lower right. A wooden stand with gold carvings, a standing fan and a painted temple backdrop complete the scene.2010-10-29A photograph of a ritual at a gold-decorated throne with a red cushioned back. In the foreground, a woman in a yellow garment and earrings holds a silver oil lamp with a lit flame, while a person in white clothing and a wristwatch holds another silver lamp near the golden ornate base. A person in white sits at the left edge, and an orange cloth is visible beside the throne. The scene suggests a lamp-offering ritual, with silver trays and dishes in the lower area.2010-09-03
