A man in an orange-saffron dhoti-wrap with a gold beaded necklace and gold headband, possibly a person, sits on a dark red velvet seat applying ash or powder to the head of a seated devotee in a striped shirt. Two men on the right wear white shirts and rudraksha malas; one in white gently holds the devotee's head. Framed photographs hang on the right wall and a framed picture sits on the left. The scene reads as a blessing or padapuja-style darshan.2012-05-17Two ornate gold-carved thrones with red cushions sit in a marble-walled hall. On the left, a young man with a long shawl-like orange-red cloth over his torso wears a gold necklace and a garland at his head, seated on the throne with his hands in a mudra-like gesture. Beside him on the right, an older bare-chested man with a grey-streaked head band and multiple rudraksha malas sits on the second throne, holding a small silver bowl. In front, a man in a white shirt kneels with his back to the camera, and a saffron-robed monk kneels at the right edge. A man in white holding a red-and-gold ceremonial dish stands at the upper right, with a red flag behind him.2012-05-07 +1 copiesMay 17 20122012-05-17Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne carved with lions and figures, the seat covered in leopard-print cushions. He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style garment, a white and pink flower garland, a gold necklace and gold bangles, with long dreadlocked hair and a moustache and beard. Tassels in red, green, yellow and blue hang from the golden canopy behind him. Blurred heads of seated devotees fill the foreground, a brass lamp sits at lower left, and an electric pedestal fan stands beside the throne. Shaved-headed attendees sit in the lower right. The man's appearance, with dreadlocks, ornate gold jewellery and a throne setting, is a probable match for a person, though he is not clearly identifiable.2017-03-18A seated elderly man in saffron-orange robes sits on a golden throne with an ornate gilded backrest and gilded lion figures at its sides. He wears a gold crown, a white vibhuti line on his forehead, layered gold necklaces, a dark rudraksha mala, a white and red-striped flower garland, and gold bangles and rings. Standing beside him, a bald priest in orange robes with white tilak and a gold chain holds a silver tray. Another robed attendant in saffron stands behind, a figure with a shaved head and ochre clothing with a gold-bordered shawl, and a further attendant at the right edge. The setting is a marble-walled hall with fluorescent lights overhead.2012-06-05A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and armrests topped by gold lion-head carvings.

Two devotees sit before him in orange and saffron robes with brown-beaded neck malas; one on the left wears a white and gold dhoti with white marks on the upper back, and the other on the right is shaved-headed in saffron with a gold-bordered shawl, bending forward and touching his feet. A silver plate of yellow offerings sits in the foreground, with gift packets, boxes and bundles on a red cloth at right, a microphone stand, and gold-carved shrine elements behind. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back dark hair is not visible, but the seated figure has a turban, garland, gold ornaments and ceremonial red robes on a throne.2015-11-10A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a golden throne with a red velvet cushion, wearing a thick gold bead necklace, a red floral headband, and a white tilak on his forehead; he extends his right hand toward a small white offering on an orange cushion.
