May 20 20142014-05-20A seated man in a rust-red wrap with a bare right shoulder performs a ritual at a silver-framed seat decorated with marigold garlands. He wears a gold necklace with rudraksha beads, tilak marks on his forehead and a small red dot, and holds a silver vessel while pouring from a glass vessel over a silver ritual stand on a red-covered table. Garlands of orange and white flowers hang beside him and a cream drape with red ring patterns forms the backdrop. The scene resembles an abhishekam-style offering.2014-05-20A seated figure in a red-orange cloth and rudraksha malas with gold ceremonial necklaces holds a flaming wick over a silver puja vessel while performing a ritual. Behind a silver ornate throne back, marigold garlands hang on pillars and a tall silver lamp stand with flowers rises at right. Silver bowls, a kalasha-style pot, and offerings of red flowers sit on the table. The figure has a tilak on the forehead and a smiling downward gaze. The appearance is a probable match for a person based on the saffron-red clothing, rudraksha malas, gold necklaces and the throne setting; the ceremony is a puja with an oil lamp and ritual vessels.2014-05-20 +1 copiesMay 20 20142014-05-20 +1 copiesSeptember 08 20122012-09-08A photograph of a seated figure at a ceremonial altar draped in silver-and-gold embroidered fabric and marigold garlands. A man with a yellow-and-white tilak on his forehead, wearing a red-saffron shawl, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, bends over a silver vessel on a glass-and-silver stand, with small cups and a red-covered table in front. Behind him is a silver-framed seat under an ornate fringed silver canopy, and a silver trident hung with marigolds stands at the right. Another person in an orange turban and gold jewellery sits at the left edge.2014-05-20September 03 20122012-09-03May 20 20142014-05-20A smiling man with swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold repoussé throne with arched floral carvings. He wears a deep red-orange robe over bare shoulders, a long orange-and-gold beaded necklace and a gold chain. A white horizontal tilak and red bindi mark his forehead, and gold hoop earrings and a small microphone are visible. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha-style beads and a ceremonial throne, so he is described as the presiding teacher giving a discourse.2013-04-01August 21 20122012-08-21July 08 20122012-07-08March 13 20132013-03-13
