Outdoors on a lawn beneath a thatched pergola, a man in a white shirt and white trousers bends forward and performs padapuja, washing the bare feet of a seated figure. The seated man has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala with a large central bead, and is wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a yellow-orange cloth draped over the chair arm. Wicker chairs and green shrubs surround them. A probable Swamiji cues include the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, and he is receiving the padapuja as the devotee in white attends his feet.2012-07-18A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold trim wears a long black rudraksha mala across his chest, with long swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead. He sits on a cream upholstered throne with carved dark wood backrest and armrests, holding a small red object in one hand. In the foreground a man in a white kurta kneels and bows his head toward the seated man's feet, which rest on a cushioned footstool. A yellow-and-orange flower arrangement sits at lower left, and another person in orange stands at the right edge with a woven tray. The setting is an indoor hall with a bright window behind.2012-04-02October 18 20082008-10-18 +1 copiesJuly 18 20122012-07-18April 02 20122012-04-02Outdoor satsang setting under a tent canopy with orange and white flower garlands on the poles and trees behind. A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with cushioned armrests, wearing an orange-red wrap, long hair swept back, multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, with white markings on the arms and a garland of red and white flowers draped over the throne. Several devotees kneel in prayer with hands folded: a man in a red shirt, a woman in a white sari with a dark cloth, a young man in an orange striped kurta, and a man in white clothes. A brass plate of flowers and offerings sits at the feet of the throne, and a microphone stands nearby. This appears to be a person seated on the throne, receiving devotees' padapuja-style reverence.2012-07-03March 31 20132013-03-31A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red robe and a red bindi, with long dark wavy hair, raising one hand in blessing while resting the other hand on the head of an older man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt, white dhoti with a gold border, a white towel draped over his shoulder, and a gold bangle, and bows with his hands pressed to the seated figure's leg. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral carving and a red velvet cushion. Behind them hang yellow, orange and red marigold garlands and green foliage. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a distinctive orange robe, long swept hair and bindi, but the page does not indicate that he is present, so the identity remains uncertain. The scene shows a blessing given to a devotee.2008-10-18 +1 copiesJuly 18 20122012-07-18A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti and a long rudraksha-style beaded mala sits on a red cushioned throne and smiles while gesturing with his hands. A bald man in orange clothes with a beaded mala stands behind him with palms pressed together. Behind them, a line of people in orange and red garments stands, some holding staffs or rudraksha malas. In the foreground, a bearded older man in white dhoti and white shirt stands beside a woman in a red shawl, while a young girl in an orange garment kneels on the floor before the throne, her head bowed toward the seated man's feet, and flower petals lie scattered on the ground. The setting is outdoors under palm fronds, with red banners and decorations in the background.2013-12-26December 20 20112011-12-20December 23 20072007-12-23
