November 21 20102010-11-21A photo taken in an indoor hall during an evening ceremony. A man with long dark wavy hair sits on an ornate red and gold throne with a gilded arched back. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl and a long gold-beaded necklace, and is smiling. Behind him, devotees in white and cream ritual clothes stand with flower garlands, several holding red trays or cushions. A seated child in a blue shirt is at lower left, a man in white stands at right, and a red-carpeted floor and a wall with hanging garlands complete the setting. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne in saffron cloth and gold necklace, with the long hair and ornate saffron attire as cues; he is the only candidate and his appearance is consistent.2011-11-29A seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a red-and-gold border and a gold ceremonial necklace, sitting on an ornate red velvet throne with gold trim in a decorated hall. Around the throne, seated devotees in white dhotis and garlanded shirts, some wearing marigold and rose garlands, sit on rugs. A standing man in white on the right holds a small red object, a monk in orange robes stands at the back, and a monk in orange sits at the lower right near a water bottle. Colourful hanging paper decorations and painted pillars with floral patterns line the room, and a video camera on a tripod is visible at the left. The seated figure's distinctive hair, saffron attire and gold necklace are consistent with the page's reference to a person, presented as a probable identification.2011-11-29Night outdoor photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold-framed throne with a crimson upholstered seat and back, leopard-print mat at its base. The seated person wears saffron-orange robes with gold border, a long dark-haired style, and layered beaded necklaces; the figure is a probable Swamiji by visible cues of swept-back long hair, saffron clothing and ornate necklaces. Standing beside the throne are attendants in orange and white: a man in orange holding a staff at left, another in orange with a red-and-gold trim, and a bald man in white with an orange scarf. Behind are people holding a golden parasol and a ceremonial staff, string lights glow above, and an older man in cream kurta and red dhoti stands at right, with other men in white dhotis.2010-11-21November 20 20102010-11-20November 06 20112011-11-06November 21 20102010-11-21November 29 20112011-11-29A photograph of a padapuja-style ceremony in a decorated hall. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back wears a red-orange robe, a long gold bead necklace and a red tilak, hands folded in his lap with eyes closed. Around the throne, several devotees in white dhotis and white clothes kneel or sit on the floor, some holding brass vessels and offerings; a woman in a white sari with gold motifs and a pink shawl sits near the throne's gold side panel. Behind is a painted backdrop with pillars, brass lamps and a small deity murti in a red-framed niche. A lit oil lamp stands at the right edge. Overlay text reads copyright and source credits. Visible cues for a candidate are his long swept-back hair, saffron-red robe and gold necklace seated on a throne, but the appearance is only moderately distinctive, so the a person value is unsure.2011-01-25November 12 20102010-11-12A photograph in an ornate hall with a red carpet and golden lion-form armrests.
