Indoor photograph of a seated sannyasi in a rust-red garment with a rudraksha mala, smiling as he places his hand on the head of an older man in a white shirt bending forward with hands folded. A woman in a red and gold sari with a white flower in her braid sits in front, and a saffron-robed attendant stands behind. A small table holds flowers, a yellow fruit and a bottle, and garlands hang in the background. Appearance cues are limited and the seated figure is not clearly identifiable, so the role is given as sannyasi.2014-07-01A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in a hall. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold throne with a pink cushion and presses his palms together in greeting. Before him stands a woman in an orange saree with green blouse and gold border, her hands folded, holding a small offering tray with flowers and fruit on a gold-trimmed table. Behind them a golden deity murti with a purple and multicoloured flower garland sits in a niche, and a woman in a red saree and rudraksha mala stands nearby. A man in a white shirt and a group of people in white ritual clothes stand at the left. A large portrait of a man in orange hangs at the upper right. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne in orange robes with long hair and rudraksha mala.2010-10-09A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange draped clothing with a rudraksha mala around the neck, bare-chested in part, leaning forward to rest a hand on the head of a young boy in a checked shirt who kneels on a red cloth. Beside them a gilded lion-faced throne armrest is visible, and garlands of orange and yellow flowers hang at left. Behind, a woman in white ritual dress touches the arm of a boy in a white shirt, and other people in white and cream clothing stand in a room with red curtains and a floor fan. The seated figure has distinctive ceremonial cues, so this is a person in person, while the boy receives a blessing-like touch.2013-10-03A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-headed armrests wears a red-orange turban, a red and white flower garland, and a saffron-red garment. The figure holds out a banana to a kneeling young man in a white checked shirt with an orange lanyard, who is at lower right. Behind them, a standing row of devotees in white and maroon attire watch; a woman in white wears a rudraksha mala, and a man at upper right wears a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl. A brass oil lamp and fruit offerings sit near the throne, and a wall air conditioner is visible. The figure's appearance matches the page's reference to a person, seated in a throne-like setting with a turban, garland and saffron-red clothing.2015-11-08December 03 20112011-12-03 +1 copiesOctober 24 20152015-10-24December 15 20062006-12-15July 17 20082008-07-17June 21 20142014-06-21 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a temple-style room decorated with bright marigold and multicoloured flower garlands and a gold lion-head figure at right.
