A photograph taken from above of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and a gilded backrest. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and a white tilak on his forehead, with long swept-back hair. Before the throne, a man in a white shirt kneels beside a second man in white dhoti and shawl with a gold border, who has his hands folded in prayer. Gold plates hold orange and yellow flowers, marigold petals, red blossoms and oil-lamp-style offerings arranged for puja. A lit brass oil lamp stands behind the throne against a black wall, and a partially visible woman sits at the lower right edge.2013-02-19A photograph inside a dark-walled hall with a gilded carved wooden throne. A long-haired man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, sits on the golden throne flanked by a carved lion figure and hanging brass bells and lamps; he is probable Swamiji by these cues. Around the throne, devotees sit in white and saffron, some in red and yellow saris. Silver thalis of flowers and offerings sit on a gold stand in front, with a man in white and orange lanyard seated at the throne's base. Ornate brass lamps stand to the right, and a carved wooden door is at left.2013-05-15A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden lion-headed armrest and tiger-striped cushion. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment with a gold-trimmed border and a long red-and-white flower garland with a dark rudraksha-style bead strand. Around him, several people in white and orange clothing hold silver thalis and bowls filled with offerings, flowers and colourful powders, while a brass bell and hanging brass oil lamps hang above. A man in white with a red shawl offers a thali, and a woman in orange with a rudraksha mala sits at right. The black wall and wall-mounted air conditioner set the room. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair, rust-orange garments and flower garland cues.2013-05-25February 20 20132013-02-20January 31 20132013-01-31A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion, wearing an orange-brown robe with a gold border and a red-and-white garland of flowers. Behind him hang brass bells and oil lamps from chains, and a wall-mounted air conditioner is visible. Beside him, a man in white with a red shawl and another in white kneel near brass plates of flowers and offerings, while a woman in an orange sari and glasses sits at right. Several hands reach toward a tray of flower petals and small brass cups at the front. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron-orange robes with long hair and a garland; his presence is identified from appearance cues only.2013-05-25May 25 20132013-05-25A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with yellow borders and a long red-and-white flower garland, with bangles on his arms. Seated on the floor before the throne, a man in white with a red shawl and a woman in white with a white forehead mark face the seated figure; several women in saffron and green saris with forehead marks and rudraksha malas serve from brass trays of flower petals, pink blossoms and oil lamps. A brass hanging lamp and bell hang behind the throne beside a dark panelled wall and a wooden door. The scene reads as a devotional offering or puja, and the seated man's appearance matches the page's claim of Swamiji's presence, with his long hair, gold ornaments, rudraksha and saffron-tone clothing, though the image is not conclusive.2013-07-02May 16 20132013-05-16May 25 20132013-05-25May 25 20132013-05-25February 01 20132013-02-01 +1 copies
