November 17 20092009-11-17 +2 copiesA photograph of a padapuja ritual under an open thatched pavilion. A seated figure on a gilded throne wears orange robes and a red flower garland, and his bare feet rest on a red cloth. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward with his head lowered toward the seated figure's feet, while another man in white with a white dhoti places his hand on the bowing man's head. A young man in white with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stands behind them. A row of women in saris, including orange, maroon and teal tones, stand watching on a red and patterned mat. Gold lion-form ornaments and a red-curtained backdrop decorate the throne area.2009-11-17 +1 copiesPhotograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair tied back, on a red cushioned seat with ornate gold lion-head armrests, receiving an offering from a standing devotee. Around them, people in orange and white clothes stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a woman in a yellow blouse with a white dupatta, wearing gold bangles, folds her hands. In the foreground, a person in white kneels with head bowed toward the seated figure. A man in a white shirt holds a long stick or implement toward the seat. A gold-carved backdrop and a red cloth are visible at the top right. Seated figure's appearance matches the page's a person reference, but the cues are only long hair and orange robes, so identity is uncertain.2009-11-17December 16 20092009-12-16November 17 20092009-11-17 +1 copiesA devotee in a blue collared shirt and dark trousers kneels before a seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with a white jasmine garland, performing padapuja by touching the feet. The seated figure has long dark hair and sits on a gold-and-red ornate throne with a red cushion. A woman in an orange salwar kameez stands at left with hands folded, a man in a white shirt beside her joins palms in namaste, and a woman in a white sari with yellow border stands behind. Brass plates with flowers and offerings lie on the floor in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robe, garland and throne match the presentation cues, though this is an appearance-based label. Pillars with lotus capitals and a white draped backdrop frame the room.2010-01-11 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20132013-09-28December 29 20092009-12-29Indoor scene in an ornate hall with cream arched columns and gold-trimmed thrones.
