Close-up photograph of a seated person's bare feet resting on a polished metal tray placed on a red cloth. The person wears rust-red trousers with wide gold zari borders at the ankles, and a garland of red roses, yellow chrysanthemums and green leaves hangs beside the legs. A gold-carved ornate wooden chair or throne arm is visible at left, and a silver-toned ceremonial tray holds small flower petals and gold rings near the toes. Appearance cues for the person are not distinctive enough to identify who it is, so the role is described only as a seated devotee receiving padapuja.2017-06-08Close photo of a seated figure's lower body on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat. The person wears a brown garment with a gold-bordered edge and a long garland of pink lotus flowers with yellow blossoms draped over the legs. The bare feet rest on the silver footrest. Silver carved railing and colourful fabric appear at the edges.2017-08-12Close photo of bare feet in the foreground, the left foot planted on a golden metal tray during a padapuja ritual, with the wearer in an orange-saffron garment whose hem is visible at upper right. Around the feet are silver ritual bowls holding white flowers, shredded white petals, an orange-yellow apple, pink roses and loose white blossoms, with a small gold cup near the roses. A silver spoon and a silver vessel sit on the tray. Behind, a seated person in white clothing with a red thread on the wrist holds an item near the top edge. The composition shows an offering of fruit, flowers and petals at the feet during worship.2010-10-09September 07 20172017-09-07A seated man in a rust-brown robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-striped fabric draped over its base. He wears long layered garlands of purple orchids, white flowers, green leaves, and bead-and-herb strands, plus a gold necklace and gold bangles. He has a white forehead marking and a red mark between his brows, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. Green leaves are scattered over his feet and the throne, and a partially visible figure stands at the right edge.2016-05-03A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-headed armrests, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange turban and wearing a long white and multicolour flower garland and a gold necklace. A man in an orange shirt kneels at the throne's base, placing flowers and red blossoms on a brass plate, while a brass bell and hanging lamps are visible above and a video camera on a tripod stands at left. Another person's grey-haired head appears at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long, swept-back hair under a saffron turban, saffron robes, rudraksha-style garlands and gold ornaments, seated in ceremonial worship.2014-06-12A seated man in a rust-brown sleeveless robe sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lions and sculpted cobra-like scrollwork, draped with a pink and white flower garland. He wears white and red tilak marks on his forehead and a red thread on his wrist, smiling with hands resting in his lap. A gold trident stands beside the throne, and leopard-print and tiger-striped cushions cover the seat. Behind him are orange and white floral decorations. A watermarked text caption appears in the image corner, which is omitted. The figure appears to be a person, identified by the ornate throne, trident, rudraksha-style garland and ceremonial seating; the appearance-based label is probable only.2017-02-24Close-up photograph of a seated figure wrapped in a maroon-brown cloth with a gold-bordered edge, wearing a long garland of pink lotus buds and white flowers strung with gold beads. A bare foot rests on a gold-trimmed ornate platform in the lower foreground, and green leaves blur in the background. Only part of the body is visible, with no face shown. Appearance cues are limited to a maroon garment and garland, which are not distinctive enough to confirm a presence.2017-06-18May 03 20162016-05-03April 30 20172017-04-30August 08 20162016-08-08August 14 20172017-08-14
