His forehead bears white and red sacred markings, and a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest. A man in a white shirt kneels at right, offering a silver tray of yellow flowers and small brass vessels. Behind them a figure in a white dhoti with a gold border stands beside a silver staff, and women in pink, green and maroon saris hold offering trays. The gold carved backdrop suggests a ritual reception at a temple-style hall.2017-12-15Photo 11710407A seated man in a rust-red saffron robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a long pink lotus garland, rudraksha beads and a white vibhuti and red kumkum forehead marking, smiling as he reaches toward a silver puja tray. A devotee in a white shirt kneels before him, holding a tray of brass bowls with flowers and a red blossom. Behind them stand attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and women in pink and green silk saris, and a gilded pillar frames the scene. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a saffron robe with a lotus garland.2017-12-15A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood backrest smiles broadly. He wears a rust-red robe, a long rudraksha mala, and a shaved-top dark hair bun with a white vibhuti mark on his forehead. Two men in white dhotis with gold borders kneel and bow before him on a striped rug, one with his bare back to the camera and a sacred thread visible. Lit oil lamps and offerings of fruit and flowers sit in the foreground. A red cushion and a ceiling fan are visible in the stone-walled hall.2018-04-11A photograph of a ceremonial scene before a gilded throne with ornate golden carved backrest. A smiling man with a white tripundra on his forehead, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a maroon-red shawl, sits on a red cushioned seat with his bare chest and arm exposed, receiving offerings. Two bowls of flowers and fruit sit on silver trays held by a person at the lower left. An older man in white dhoti and shirt with glasses bends forward offering a silver plate with small cups. Behind them a woman in an orange sari with a mala stands near the throne, and a bespectacled man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala smiles to the right. The setting suggests a puja or darshan ceremony.2017-12-15August 21 20172017-08-21Photo 11714896 +1 copiesA photograph of a satsang at an ashram. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a red-brown shawl, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and mala beads, sits on a red-cushioned throne beside a large gold lion sculpture, smiling as he receives an offering. Before him, a man in an orange shawl and mala beads, and a bare-chested man with white vibhuti markings and rudraksha malas, extend items toward him. Several devotees in white and orange garments kneel or sit in front, some holding yellow cloth. Behind them a video camera on a tripod and a crowd stand under white draped tents with gold decorations.2016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03
