August 14 20142014-08-14A seated figure on a golden ornate throne is framed in a dark stone-panelled shrine doorway with hanging black bead strands and small brass bells. The seated figure wears a maroon head covering, multiple strands of beaded necklaces and deep maroon robes, with hands raised in blessing. In front, a devotee in an orange garment kneels with their back to the camera, and two women in maroon saris sit at the sides, one with a tilak on her forehead and one holding offerings. Carved gold and orange-red painted columns frame the doorway. This is a candidate in-person appearance with several cues including maroon robes, multiple necklaces and a throne, but the face is not clearly resolvable at this scale, so identity is uncertain.2014-10-02A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-leaf throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-print seat cover, inside a decorated shrine doorway. He wears a red rudraksha mala, a large ceremonial gold pendant, gold armlets and a red bindi, with long dark hair. Hanging brass oil lamps with lit wicks light the dark wooden wall, and brass standing lamps flank the throne. A man in orange clothes sits with hands folded at the left, and a woman in a white sari with red border kneels with hands joined at the lower right. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, based on his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala with ornate gold pendant.2013-02-22February 22 20132013-02-22August 24 20172017-08-24March 17 20132013-03-17November 03 20142014-11-03 +1 copiesAugust 24 20172017-08-24A man in a rust-red turban and rust-red saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne under a golden canopy, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a gold chest pendant and gold necklaces. He holds a small bell in one hand. Two shirtless young men in white dhotis sit at the base of the throne, one with rudraksha beads, and a woman in dark clothing sits at the right edge. Painted deity statues flank the doorway, and string lights hang behind. Colourful woven mats lie in the foreground. The appearance of the seated figure fits the swami presentation cues, so this is a person depicted in person at a puja darshan setting.2017-05-12A photograph inside a temple shrine of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold backrest and a golden crown-like top. The seated figure wears a red-brown robe, a gold necklace, and a thick garland of red and pink flowers over rudraksha beads, with a tilak on the forehead. A tiger-skin cloth covers the throne seat. Below, a kneeling woman in a white garment with a gold border sits with her back to the camera, and two other seated devotees, one in orange and one in white, flank the scene. Brass lamps and bells hang from the shrine ceiling, and a small oil lamp flame is visible at the lower left.2013-07-14A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a lion-head armrest and a carved golden canopy sits in a shrine-like doorway framed by orange and cream painted columns. The seated figure wears a maroon and orange robe, a long pink, white and red flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and a white-and-red tilak on the forehead. Hanging brass oil lamps and dark beaded strands surround the throne. Three devotees sit on the floor below: one in a white dhoti with a gold border, back to the camera, and two others on the sides with hands pressed together in namaste. A metal tray with offerings sits at the base of the throne.2014-10-05 +1 copiesA bearded man in a rust-brown turban and reddish-brown robe sits smiling on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, under a gold canopy and hanging bells. He wears a pink and white flower garland, layered gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style pendant. Two bare-chested priests in white dhotis with orange shawls sit before the throne, and a woman in dark clothing kneels at the right. Fairy lights hang beside the throne, and a painted multi-armed deity figure stands on the left in a shrine doorway. A cloth-covered floor with colourful fabric lies in the foreground.2017-05-12
