A seated man in a dark red-brown robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth draped over its base. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a gold necklace with a pendant, and a multi-coloured flower garland with red, white and yellow blossoms. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands behind the throne, pressing a golden kalasha or pot to the seated man's forehead in a blessing gesture. To the left, a bald man with white tilak marks and rudraksha beads, wearing a red-brown garment, smiles beside a standing man in white with an orange waist cloth. A painted deity figure with a crown appears in the background behind the throne, and gold ornamentation fills the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and sits on the throne being honoured, so he is shown in person.2013-05-13May 13 20132013-05-13A photograph of a man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-carved armrests, draped with tiger-skin cloth at its base, wearing a rust-orange robe, a rudraksha mala with golden beads, a white-and-green-and-red flower garland and a smaller ornamental necklace, smiling with an earpiece microphone visible. Two men in white ritual clothes, one with an orange sash, stand in front of him with their backs to the camera, and a third man in white with orange sash appears behind them. Behind the throne stands a gilded deity murti with a tall crown and a golden kalasha-like backdrop. The man on the throne fits Swamiji (probable) on appearance cues of long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate golden necklace, shown seated in a satsang setting.2013-05-13May 13 20132013-05-13May 13 20132013-05-13May 13 20132013-05-13A photograph inside a temple hall of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, draped with a long gold necklace, a white and red flower garland and gold armbands. A tiger-striped cloth lies across the throne base. Beside him, a woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala and red blouse sits with her eyes lowered. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to hand over a black cloth and a red-wrapped parcel. Behind them, gold oil lamps stand on the dais and a painted deity figure with raised arms and a trident appears on the wall. A woman in orange stands at the far left. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, gold necklace and garland.2013-06-19A seated figure in a red and gold turban and a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, wearing layered garlands of red and green leaves and gold bead ornaments, with gold bangles on the arms. He smiles as he holds out his hands to a kneeling man in a white shirt, who receives something from him. To the left, a man in a white dhoti with a saffron-gold shawl holds a bowl of fruit and flowers, and a priest with a shaved head and sacred markings stands at the edge. Gold ritual lamps stand on the right beside a microphone stand and red drapery.2015-11-10A seated figure in an orange-red saffron robe and matching red turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold back and red cushions, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and a large garland around the neck, eyes closed, hands resting open on the armrests. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby: one at left bends forward toward the throne, the other at right, with palms pressed together in namaste, is accompanied by a younger man in white. Red curtains, a gold lamp stand and a gold chariot-like carved panel frame the scene on a red-carpeted stage. Several people in white attire attend the seated figure, consistent with a devotional gathering.2015-11-22September 10 20172017-09-10 +1 copiesNovember 22 20152015-11-22January 03 20162016-01-03
