June 23 20142014-06-23 +2 copiesA photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden throne, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a red and white flower garland, gold necklace and gold bangles, with his bare feet resting on the throne's gold base. Before him on a gold tray are brass plates of offerings, flower petals, and small oil lamps. A kneeling man in white clothes with a red sash and rudraksha mala and a kneeling woman in orange sari with flowers in her hair attend the offering. Behind them, a shaven-headed attendant in orange and maroon robes with a rudraksha mala kneels. Two framed portraits hang on a dark wall: one of a smiling man in an orange turban, the other of a man in orange robes seated in meditation, with a wall air conditioner above. Brass bells and a hanging lamp are visible at upper right. The setting resembles a padapuja ritual. Swamiji appears as a probable candidate on the throne, identifiable by long hair, a gold necklace, saffron clothing and a garland.2013-07-19June 24 20142014-06-24 +1 copiesA photograph inside a gilded interior with a black wall, brass hanging bells and an air conditioner. A man with a shaved-looking head and a red tilak sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth, wearing a long red garland, gold necklaces, a saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth with a yellow border, and gold armlets. He is smiling. Before him on the floor, a woman in a light green sari and a woman in a white top sit near silver trays of flowers, red blossoms, fruit and offerings, while a woman in a white-striped forehead mark and red-and-maroon garment kneels nearby. Another man in a white shirt stands behind the throne and a person's head is visible at the bottom edge. Ritual puja offerings are arranged in front of the throne.2013-09-09June 12 20142014-06-12September 02 20132013-09-02June 24 20142014-06-24 +1 copiesJuly 17 20082008-07-17September 21 20142014-09-21A photograph of a seated man with short-cut hair, wearing a maroon-red dhoti-style cloth with a gold border, a white and red flower garland, rudraksha and beaded ornaments on the upper arms and chest, smiling as he receives a folded paper from a woman in a white sari with a red border and a pink-and-gold shawl. Beside him, two young shaved-headed men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand near a silver tray holding red apples and a banana. A man in a white shirt kneels nearby and a woman in a purple sari stands in the background; a small girl in orange clothing and a man in white with folded hands add to the room. A camera lens is visible at right. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated man, identified by his long swept-back hair, ornate gold-and-beaded jewelry, red-and-white garland and maroon ceremonial cloth, in a devotional setting receiving written requests.2014-06-22A seated man in rust-brown robes with a long rudraksha-style brown mala and a white forehead marking smiles as he places his right palm on the head of a kneeling elderly man in a white shirt, whose hands are pressed together in greeting. The seated man sits on a red velvet throne with gold ornamentation beside a silver trident-topped staff with a bird finial. Behind them are green plants, red draped cloth and garlands. A woman in a cream sari with a brown mala stands at right, holding a sheet of paper. This appears to be a blessing moment during a satsang setting. The seated man appears to be a person, based on his saffron-brown robes, long mala and seated throne position.2015-04-26June 23 20142014-06-23 +1 copies
