A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala smiles from an ornate golden throne with red cushions in a temple shrine. Behind him stands a golden deity murti or sacred emblem draped in red cloth and garlanded with yellow and magenta flower strings. A man in a white cream kurta on the left holds a tray with fruit and small offerings. Golden lamp stands, a small orange deity figure on the right, and bowls of fruit on gilded side tables complete the setting. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, seated on the throne in the central role.

Several people in white clothes with yellow shawls sit on the floor in front, holding oil lamps and raising lit flames toward him during a puja. Gold lamp stands, brass plates of offerings, fruit, and a small blue deity figure appear in the background. A red and gold deity figure stands in the upper area. The seated man has long, swept-back hair and the distinctive orange robe and rudraksha cues, so this may be Swamiji, though the appearance is only a probable match.2010-08-10 +1 copiesAugust 01 20102010-08-01
