A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne during a puja. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and draped cloth, a maroon turban with a gold ornament, gold necklaces, a gold armlet and a multicoloured white, pink and green flower garland. His eyes are closed and one hand rests on his knee. A woman with a long braid and a bare back sits in front of him, and a man in white sits at the right edge. Behind the throne stand a trident, a gold-framed backdrop and a deity murti with rudraksha-style beads and a black conical crown, plus a small kalasha-style vessel on a wooden stool. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a maroon turban, gold necklaces and a bejewelled armlet on a throne, with a rust-orange garment.2017-06-12April 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion beneath him. He wears a long rudraksha-style mala and a large ceremonial gold pendant, with a gold waist sash and bangles, and has a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead. He raises one hand in blessing and rests the other palm open on his knee. Behind him stand three gilded deity murti figures with crowns and gold ornaments, flanked by a golden trident and brass lamps. Gold-draped throne fabric and a golden shrine frame complete the scene.

He wears a long rudraksha mala, a thick beaded shawl, and heavy gold necklaces, and his eyes are closed. Beside him, a seated man in grey clothing is partly visible at the left edge. Behind them, a golden throne-like seat holds a woman in an orange-red outfit with a yellow turban and gold necklaces, and a gilded deity murti in red and gold garments decorated with white and red flower garlands stands on the right. A red banner with partly visible lettering runs along the bottom of the stage. Swamiji (probable) appears in the foreground, identified by his saffron robes, rudraksha mala, gold necklaces and turban cues.2013-02-10May 12 20172017-05-12A seated man in a dark red-maroon garment and matching turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, wearing a pink and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead necklace. His hands are raised in a blessing gesture. Flanking him are two large painted deity figures with multiple arms and gold ornaments, one holding a conch-like object. Hanging bells and brass lamps surround the throne, with a small golden lion figure at its side and a staff-like rod in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair under a turban, distinctive ornate and saffron-toned clothing and a ceremonial garland, and is seated on a throne as the central honoured figure.2017-07-05A photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne at a stage-like setting.
