June 30 20162016-06-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man on a large gold ornate throne with a red curtain behind. He wears a maroon-red garment, an orange shawl draped over his shoulder, a gold-bead necklace, rudraksha bracelets and a white tripundra mark with red bindi on his forehead, and his long hair is swept back. He smiles with eyes closed. Beside him stands a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a yellow and green border, holding a brass plate with pink flower petals and a white cloth. A Yamaha sound unit and a microphone sit in front, and a small gold figure appears at the right. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated in the honoured role of the central figure, with long hair, orange shawl, gold necklace and rudraksha cues; a priest performs an offering beside him.2017-07-03December 02 20162016-12-02August 21 20172017-08-21Photo 11715903July 03 20162016-07-03 +1 copiesA seated bearded man in an orange-brown robe and rudraksha-style gold beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, eyes closed, with a sacred ash mark on his forehead and a white-and-pink flower garland. He holds a bundle of green leaves raised over his head while a bare-chested attendant in a white dhoti with a purple head wrap stands at left, holding a basket-like vessel. A small oil lamp burns in the background among colourful flower garlands. A Yamaha microphone and keyboard are at the lower centre. The scene suggests a ritual abhishekam with leaves being used for sprinkling.2016-12-02February 26 20172017-02-26A seated man with long dark hair, a sandalwood or vibhuti mark on his forehead, gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beaded bracelets sprinkles water from a leafy green sprig raised overhead. He wears a rust-orange shawl over a bare upper body and sits on a gold ornate throne with a red cushion. Beside him a person in a purple-and-white turban and white dhoti holds a woven cane-wrapped kalasha pot. A keyboard and green foliage are in the background, with gold drapery behind the throne. The scene resembles a ceremonial darshan or discourse setting.2017-02-26A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at an indoor event. A seated bare-chested man with long dark swept-back hair, a dark beard and a white forehead mark wears a rust-brown shawl, ornate gold necklaces, gold bangles and rudraksha bracelets, and raises a bunch of green leaves in his right hand. Beside him stands an attendant in a purple and pink headwrap and a pinkish wrap, holding a silver-rimmed clay pot. A golden throne and red fabric backdrop frame the scene, with a gold staff and a black keyboard nearby. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji (probable) presiding as a ritual officiant, with his long hair, gold ornaments and saffron-brown shawl as the distinguishing cues; an attendant assists with the pot.2017-02-26A photograph of a ceremony in a temple-like hall. A man seated on a red cushioned throne with an ornate golden lotus-petal backrest raises one arm holding green leaves and a red-and-yellow thread bracelet.

Beside him a bare-chested attendant in a pink head-cloth and white dhoti pours liquid from a metal vessel with a netted white covering. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned robes, and is in a position of honour on a throne. A keyboard stands at the left edge and a microphone cable runs across the scene.2017-08-07Photo of a ceremonial abhishekam on a gold-embossed throne backdrop. A seated man with long dark hair, a full beard, a white forehead mark and a red bindi wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders, a thick gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala and gold armbands. He closes his eyes and raises a bundle of green leaves in his right hand. Beside him, a shirtless attendant in a yellow head cloth and white dhoti pours from a white vessel.
