A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears an orange-red turban, a saffron-orange robe with gold-bordered shawl, and a garland of pink and white flowers; he is placing a red cloth or sash over the head of a kneeling man in white ritual clothes with a yellow-and-red scarf. The seated man is labelled Swamiji (probable) on appearance cues: an orange-red turban, saffron robes and ceremonial garlands. Standing behind are attendants in white and saffron-orange robes with red shawls, one holding a camera on a rig. A tray of fruit and flowers sits on a table to the right, with flower petals scattered on the throne steps.2010-08-15August 15 20102010-08-15A seated man in an orange and red turban and saffron shawl, with a pink flower garland, sits on an ornate gold throne with red tiger-striped cushions, receiving a rolled white paper from a devotee in a red-and-white checked shirt who bows forward. Standing attendants in white kurtas, orange shawls and saffron robes surround them, one photographer holds a camera, and strings of white flowers hang on a black backdrop with flower-decked tables nearby. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban, saffron and orange ornate clothing and a garland, matching the page's Swamiji reference, so the person is in_person.2010-08-15A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne-style chair, dressed in orange robes with an orange turban and a large garland of orange-yellow flowers, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace. He is smiling while a man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward and touches his hand or wrist. Behind them stand a man in orange robes and a man in a white shirt, with an orange triangular flag bearing an Om symbol on a pink sparkling backdrop with blue and pink draping. A white-draped stool is in the foreground, and a red chair is at the right edge.2009-11-30August 15 20102010-08-15August 15 20102010-08-15August 01 20102010-08-01A photograph inside a temple hall with a gold-trimmed throne draped in marigold and rose garlands at the right. A central figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange turban, a multi-strand gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala, gold armbands and an orange robe; he reaches forward toward a kneeling devotee, appearing to bless them. Beside him a shaved-headed man in an orange robe holds a brass tray and rudraksha beads. Several devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand or kneel with palms joined, and a man in white bows at the far right. Small deity murtis sit on a red-patterned cloth at the lower right. Probable Swamiji is present with the cues of long hair, orange turban and gold necklace, giving blessings to devotees during a darshan.2011-12-20
