A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and shawl, with long hair tied back and a rudraksha mala around his neck, sits on a low platform in front of a gold-framed throne with a carved lion motif. He holds a yellow object over a large white ornate bowl set on a white-draped table, as in a ritual offering. Behind him stands a gold arched backdrop, yellow brick-patterned walls with grey and gold Balinese-style carved panels, and a painted temple and mountain scene. On the left a large portrait shows a smiling figure in an orange turban with a red bindi.2013-12-16A man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged before a golden ornate throne-backed seat set against a stepped yellow brick-patterned wall with gold-framed side panels. He wears a rust-orange wrap over his shoulder, a green cloth draped across his lap, and a long rudraksha-style bead mala with gold-toned ornamentation. He rests his hands on a large white ceramic bowl placed on a white draped table in front of him. Small brass-style offering dishes are visible at the lower right edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange wrap, long swept-back hair and ornate beaded adornment match the page's Swamiji reference, a probable identification from appearance alone. Ceremonial setting with a golden throne and abhishekam-style bowl.2013-12-16March 30 20162016-03-30September 13 20142014-09-13July 14 20132013-07-14A photograph of a seated man in a large ornate gold throne with a carved gold backrest and red cushions, set before a wooden cabinet wall. He wears an orange-saffron wrap over his bare chest, a red-orange garment, multiple rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklaces, and a red tilak on his forehead; his long dark hair is swept up in a high knot. His hands rest on a polished silver bowl set on a white-draped table with green leaves. A silver trishul stands at the left, and a second person in a cream and red outfit sits partially visible at the right edge. A telephone and small metal bowl sit on the shelf behind. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the throne with a silver bowl and trishul, wearing rudraksha malas and gold necklaces.2015-12-20March 30 20162016-03-30Annadhan in 20152015-01-01 +1 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30A seated man in a red-orange turban with a white plume and a rudraksha-style ceremonial gold pendant over a saffron-orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in front of red draped backdrop. He rests one hand in a white ceremonial bowl with a gold-patterned rim, apparently during a ritual bathing or pooja. A tall orange-and-gold ceremonial parasol and a beaded necklace are visible. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of the turban, plume, saffron clothing and gold ornaments with a throne suggest the central figure, performing the ritual as the officiating guru. Other items include a steel water bottle and an orange bag at the right edge.2015-10-23August 02 20162016-08-02A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a carved, rounded back and red cushions, wearing a saffron-orange wrap over bare shoulders, a beaded gold-toned mala necklace, and a red bindi. He smiles while dipping his hand into a large ornately engraved silver bowl of food placed on a silver stand over a banana leaf. Lower right, a partially visible person's head is in the foreground, and a small brass oil lamp is lit at the bottom edge.2015-07-15
