A photograph on a stage with a red backdrop. A young shirtless attendant in orange dhoti and orange shawl, with rudraksha malas on his arms and chest and white tilak on his forehead, bends forward and offers a covered offering wrapped in white cloth on a silver tray. Seated on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions is a bearded man with long hair, wearing a red-orange robe, rudraksha mala and gold chain, with white marks on his forehead, smiling as he receives it. Marigold garlands lie at the base of the throne beside silver staves, and a microphone stands at the right edge.2018-05-06April 11 20182018-04-11A seated man on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print upholstery and cushions receives a white cloth-wrapped bundle on a silver tray from a kneeling young attendant. The seated man wears a long rudraksha mala, a leopard-print shawl over his upper body, rust-red dhoti and a tilak on his forehead; he has long dreadlocked hair and a bare upper body. The attendant wears an orange cloth, a patterned headband, a red rudraksha mala with bead necklaces and white body markings. Two silver staffs stand behind the throne against a dark blue backdrop, with a microphone at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a leopard-print shawl on a silver throne.2018-04-01A seated man in a rust-red robe sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne with hands folded in prayer, eyes closed, a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair falling behind him. A younger attendant in saffron robes and an orange turban stands at left, holding a small white offering on a tray and wearing rudraksha beads. Behind them hang deep red curtains, a silver ornamented backdrop with carved figures, a silver trident-like staff and a brass urn beside the throne, with a brass railing in the foreground. The setting suggests a formal satsang on a dais. The seated man is the central figure and is presented as a person by his throne, long hair and rust-red robe, though appearance alone is not conclusive.2018-05-27November 12 20172017-11-12April 19 20182018-04-19 +1 copiesApril 24 20182018-04-24November 19 20172017-11-19A photograph on a stage showing a seated man in a leopard-print throne with ornate silver lion armrests and a silver carved backdrop. He wears a rust-red cloth, a long rudraksha mala, and a forehead tilak, with long hair, and gestures with raised right hand. Two standing attendants in orange cloth with rudraksha malas and white body markings stand to his left; one holds a small white paper or card. A third figure kneels in front with palms joined, bare-chested with white markings, and a small offering plate sits near him. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure matches the presentation cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial throne, so he is described as the seated teacher receiving devotion.2018-04-01April 08 20172017-04-08A photograph of a ceremony on a stage before a deep red curtain. A young attendant in an orange turban, orange dhoti and rudraksha mala stands at left, bowing slightly while offering a silver plate with white camphor-like offering and a small flame toward a seated man. The seated man wears an orange-red robe and has long dark hair swept back, a beard and white tilak on his forehead, seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne with ornate silver and jewelled carvings behind him. A silver trident stands beside the plate and a brass kalasha-style vessel sits near the throne. The seated figure's hands gesture in blessing. Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne with long hair, orange-red robes and rudraksha-adorned attendant in ceremonial aarti.2018-05-27March 04 20182018-03-04
