January 13 20182018-01-13Photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon robe on an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra-hood backrest and red cushions, touching his forehead with his right hand. A shaved-headed attendant in orange cloth with white tripundra marks stands at left holding a silver bowl, another attendant in orange stands at right edge, and a third bare-armed attendant is at far left edge. The floor is covered with striped multicolored cloth; a yellow flower and white cloth-wrapped object sit in front, with flower petals and a broom nearby. Seated man appears to be a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair, red-maroon robe and ornate gold throne setting.2018-01-13A photograph of a ritual in a brick-walled hall with a striped multicoloured cloth floor. A seated man in a maroon-brown robe with a gold border and a white tripundra forehead mark sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood backrest and red cushions, eyes closed, with a white flower at his feet. Standing before him with his back partly turned is a man in an orange turban and orange wrap, holding up green leaves above the seated man's head as part of a blessing. Offerings in yellow and white cloth, a brass plate and a flower garland lie on the floor in front. The seated figure has long hair and a mala-style bead string on his wrist, and the scene reads as a formal initiation or puja.2018-01-13 +1 copiesMarch 27 20132013-03-27June 05 20122012-06-05March 17 20132013-03-17A photograph of a ritual in a golden temple setting. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print and tiger-striped cushions wears a rust-red robe and a long white garland, and bears white vibhuti marks on the forehead. He places his hand on the head of a kneeling man who is bare-chested, wearing a white dhoti with gold border, a rudraksha mala, and white paste markings. The kneeling man holds a brass vessel. Behind them, a woman in an orange-red sari with a rudraksha necklace stands near golden lion-headed fixtures and hanging brass bells. The scene suggests a blessing or initiation.2017-07-28 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremony in a courtyard setting.

The seated man receives a long garland of pink and yellow flowers placed over his neck and head.
