August 14 20142014-08-14February 22 20132013-02-22A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-leaf throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-print seat cover, inside a decorated shrine doorway. He wears a red rudraksha mala, a large ceremonial gold pendant, gold armlets and a red bindi, with long dark hair. Hanging brass oil lamps with lit wicks light the dark wooden wall, and brass standing lamps flank the throne. A man in orange clothes sits with hands folded at the left, and a woman in a white sari with red border kneels with hands joined at the lower right. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, based on his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala with ornate gold pendant.2013-02-22A seated figure on a golden ornate throne is framed in a dark stone-panelled shrine doorway with hanging black bead strands and small brass bells. The seated figure wears a maroon head covering, multiple strands of beaded necklaces and deep maroon robes, with hands raised in blessing. In front, a devotee in an orange garment kneels with their back to the camera, and two women in maroon saris sit at the sides, one with a tilak on her forehead and one holding offerings. Carved gold and orange-red painted columns frame the doorway. This is a candidate in-person appearance with several cues including maroon robes, multiple necklaces and a throne, but the face is not clearly resolvable at this scale, so identity is uncertain.2014-10-02January 31 20132013-01-31October 04 20142014-10-04 +1 copiesAugust 24 20172017-08-24March 17 20132013-03-17A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet cushion and tiger-striped seat cover, in a dark stone-walled hall hung with brass oil lamps on chains and strings of dark beads. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a thick orange-red rudraksha mala around his neck, a gold chain, bracelets and white and red forehead markings, and his hands are folded in his lap. In front of the throne, a golden pedestal holds small offering cups, and two white-clad attendants and a man in a green striped shirt sit at the base of the dais.2013-02-19A man in a rust-red turban and rust-red saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne under a golden canopy, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a gold chest pendant and gold necklaces. He holds a small bell in one hand. Two shirtless young men in white dhotis sit at the base of the throne, one with rudraksha beads, and a woman in dark clothing sits at the right edge. Painted deity statues flank the doorway, and string lights hang behind. Colourful woven mats lie in the foreground. The appearance of the seated figure fits the swami presentation cues, so this is a person depicted in person at a puja darshan setting.2017-05-12March 18 20132013-03-18A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl, wearing a long orange-gold beaded mala and a white and red forehead mark, sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-head arms and a tiger-striped cushion. Hanging brass oil lamps and a red-lit backdrop frame the scene. Three women attend in front: one in white with white body markings holds offerings, and two in red and orange saris sit with their backs to the camera, one holding a white flower offering. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, a long ornate mala and rust-red robes seated on a gold throne, so the figure is marked probable and presence is treated as in person. Gold-painted decorations and flower offerings sit at the base of the throne.2013-04-08
