Behind them stand ornate golden deity murti decorated with jewelled necklaces, golden crowns and gold-and-green draped cloth. A brass tray with fruit and a water bottle sit on a wooden table in front, with a microphone stand in view. The setting is a stage with a ceremonial puja-like honouring.2015-12-11February 02 20162016-02-02 +1 copiesA photograph of a night ritual on a stage. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a gold-and-rudraksha necklace sits on an ornate silver-backed throne with a leopard-print cushion, his forehead marked with white and red tilak. He smiles while tying a thread on the head of a shaved-headed devotee kneeling before him in orange robes. A second man in orange with a gold mala stands behind. Brass bowls, a scissors and a water bottle sit on the stage in front. The seated man's appearance matches the a person cues (long swept hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold adornments), so he is.2013-03-10May 21 20162016-05-21A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-and-leather throne with lion-head armrests, in front of a silver-ornamented shrine with a deity murti and pink-clad figure behind. The seated person wears a red turban, a red and gold garment, a brown beaded rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, and holds a small glass or crystal object aloft while speaking into a microphone. Two people in white kneel before the throne in obeisance; one wears a red shawl, the other is bent low with head near the throne. A standing attendant in red stands at the back-left. Probable Swamiji cues: red turban, rudraksha mala and gold pendant on the throned figure, with the throne and devotees kneeling to him.2015-09-16February 09 20122012-02-09A photograph of an indoor devotional gathering. A woman in a deep red sari with gold bangles and a red-and-gold beaded garland sits on a gold-finished lion-headed seat, her hand resting on the knee of a kneeling man in a white shirt and red-orange shawl, whose head is bowed toward her. Behind them, a standing woman in white with a red-orange shawl holds a tall garland of yellow, white and magenta flowers on a pole, while a woman in a grey sari with red blouse stands with palms pressed together in namaste, and more women in white and red-orange shawls stand in the background. A warm lamp glows at upper left and a framed picture hangs on the wall. The setting suggests a darshan or blessing moment.2014-05-17A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red shawl over a saffron garment, wearing a beaded rudraksha-style necklace with gold beads and a red bindi, with long swept-back dark hair; this figure is on an ornate gold-and-red throne with velvet cushions against red drapes. Before them a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white trousers kneels on the red platform, his back to the camera, with an orange-red cloth draped over his shoulders, receiving the seated figure's gesture. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron/orange clothing, rudraksha-style beaded necklace, seated on a gold throne. The scene is a devotee receiving blessing during a seated programme.2013-05-19
