May 26 20142014-05-26A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and gold pendant necklace sits on a red velvet throne before a temple-style painted backdrop with carved pillars and a tree. Strings of orange and white flowers hang behind him, and vases of pink and white flowers stand on the platform. He smiles and raises one hand toward a bald elderly devotee in white kurta kneeling at the throne's edge. Another devotee in white with an orange-bordered cloth bows low at his feet in padapuja. A person in orange robes is partially visible at the left edge.2012-09-13August 29 20142014-08-29November 08 20152015-11-08Photograph inside a shrine room at an ashram. A seated figure in an orange turban, orange-saffron garments, a white and yellow flower garland and red beaded necklaces leans forward to offer a fruit to a kneeling man in a red t-shirt and glasses, who receives it with folded hands. Behind them, a woman in white with a tilak and a woman in an orange and cream sari with a gold border stand by. Brass oil lamps, a decorated deity murti area with flower garlands, and brass plates with offerings sit in front. Several people are visible; the seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate.2015-06-02A seated figure in an orange-red robe, with a white forehead band, long gold beaded necklaces and gold armbands, sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned seat before a gold ornate backdrop. An older man in a white shirt with an orange shawl kneels and holds his hands in añjali, bowing with flowers near a golden deity murti and a trident decorated with pink flowers. Two women stand to the right, one in white with a rudraksha mala and tilak, the other in red with folded hands. A bald man with rudraksha beads is partly visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a puja or darshan, with the seated figure's appearance unclear, so the identity is uncertain.2014-05-12August 06 20142014-08-06A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears an orange-saffron turban and orange robe, with a long blue, white and pink flower garland and a brown rudraksha-style mala. He extends bananas to a kneeling devotee in beige kurta who presses palms together. Behind them a white-clad attendant with a tilak and gold chain stands, and a bare-chested priest with white and red tilak and a long gold chain is visible. Golden lion-like statues flank the throne against a red backdrop with stage lights and a camera.2016-04-30A seated figure in a red draped garment with long swept-back dark hair and a gold ceremonial necklace leans forward from a gold-and-red throne decorated with garlands of yellow, white and purple flowers, smiling as he extends his hand to bless an older man in white. The older man, in white kurta with grey hair, bows and presses his hands together in respect near a tall gold trident. Beside them a woman in a gold-and-maroon sari stands with hands folded, a man in an orange garment is behind her, and a man in a red kurta stands at the right edge. Blue draped backdrop and gold hangings fill the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in red is shown with long hair and ceremonial gold necklace on a throne, a distinctive presentation cue.2010-12-22A photograph inside a temple hall during a ritual.

Gold lion-head armrests and an event hall setting frame the scene.2014-05-20
