A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long dark rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) under an open pavilion with a striped orange-and-red wall. He holds a small lit oil lamp near his lap while seated before a group of devotees on the floor: several women in orange shawls and men in white dhotis and ceremonial necklaces, some holding brass plates of fruit and offerings.

Shaved-headed priests in white dhotis with gold necklaces sit in front, performing puja over silver plates of fruit, flowers and food. Several women in orange and green saris sit on the floor with folded hands, incense sticks and small brass vessels nearby. Red-and-white striped walls and a golden-railed gateway form the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha cues, with a throne, so the probable label applies.2010-10-31 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) inside a temple hall, with a deity murti decorated with garlands behind him. Before the throne, a group of devotees in white and yellow-trimmed clothing sit on a mat with their hands folded in prayer, and silver plates of offerings, fruit and flowers rest in front of them. A kalasha-style lamp stand and a painted carved gateway frame the scene. The man is identifiable as a person by his saffron robes, mala and throne, so a person is marked in_person.2010-08-06A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne in an outdoor temple courtyard. Before him, several women in yellow and cream saris and a shaven-headed man in white dhoti sit with palms pressed together in namaskar.

Before him, several devotees sit on the floor in white dhotis and saffron or yellow shawls, some with palms joined in anjali, others holding brass plates of offerings with flower petals. The scene looks like a satsang or puja setting, with an orange-and-white striped wall behind. Count of visible people: six seated devotees plus the figure on the throne.2010-10-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with a long dark rudraksha mala, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) under an open-sided temple pavilion with stone pillars. He holds his hands together on his lap. Before him stands a small wooden stand with fruit on a plate. In front of the throne, a priest in white dhoti and a bare-chested man with garlands sit beside brass thalis of offerings, oil lamps and sweets. To the right, several devotees sit on the floor, a woman in a white and red sari holds incense sticks, and a woman in green and white sits near them. Behind is a deity murti decorated with yellow and orange garlands and a golden canopy, plus a red-and-white striped wall, palm trees and a corrugated roof. The man on the throne matches the page's appearance-based cues of long swept hair, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, so this is a person in person; the page identifies him, and the cues qualify. Seven people are visible.2010-10-31 +1 copiesA seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne inside a temple-style hall with red and white striped walls and a carved stone shrine behind him. Around him, devotees sit on the floor in saris and white dhotis, some with orange and yellow shawls, and a woman in a yellow shawl holds a brass plate. Brass lamps and a kalasha-like vessel rest on a stone ledge at left, with a white-robed deity or sage figure visible beyond. The scene suggests a satsang or seated teaching session in a temple setting. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, presented in a saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and a throne, but the identification is uncertain.2010-10-30
