A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark hair swept back, in an outdoor temple courtyard. A garlanded deity murti in an orange-draped shrine stands behind him. Around the front of the throne, about a dozen devotees sit on the orange floor cloth: several women in white and orange saris, a woman in a yellow shawl, and white-clad priests, one shaved-headed with a gold necklace. They hold incense sticks and aarti or puja plates with fruit, flowers and oil lamps. Red-and-white striped walls and an ornate gateway frame the scene. The seated man's identity is an appearance-based candidate with several cues, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the figure in orange robe with rudraksha mala and long hair on a throne.2010-10-31 +2 copiesA photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne in an outdoor courtyard with orange and white striped walls.
