A seated elderly man in a wheelchair, wearing a green collared shirt and dark trousers with a rudraksha mala, receives a blessing from a figure seated on a gold and red throne. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe, long dark hair, a gold necklace and rudraksha beads, and places a hand on the man's head while holding his hands. Standing attendants in white dhotis and white kurtas, one with a yellow shawl, watch nearby. A woman in white is at right and a woman in grey sari with a red bindi sits in the lower right corner. The throne rests on a red carpet with a garland of white flowers at its base, and a painted forest backdrop of banyan trees stands behind. The scene resembles a paadapuja or darshan blessing; the seated figure is a probable match to Swamiji by appearance cues including long hair, saffron robe, gold necklace and rudraksha, with the throne also present.2009-12-03A padapuja ceremony on a stage with a large orange and red backdrop of tree roots.
