A photo of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, wearing a red-orange turban, a red and green garland, a gold necklace and a red cloth. Two people sit at his feet facing him: one in white with a gold border and dark wavy hair, the other in orange with a gold-trimmed shawl. A young girl in white with a gold border stands at the right beside a brass lamp stand and offerings of fruit, sweets and packets. Red velvet drapes and gold carvings frame the scene. The man appears to be a person seated on the throne receiving the seated devotees. Four people are visible.2015-11-10November 10 20152015-11-10A photograph in an ornate hall shows a seated man on a golden lion-armed throne with a red tiger-striped cushion. He wears a rust-orange robe, a flower garland and a light bracelet, and he is bare-chested and barefoot. Several tiers of bananas are arranged on a tray in front of him, and a devotee in white kneels to offer fruit. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala stands at right beside another person in a pink sari. Carved golden pillars and a red lattice screen fill the background. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference, but cues are limited, so identity remains uncertain.2014-08-26November 08 20152015-11-08August 09 20152015-08-09A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching saffron head wrap sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a silver trident and wearing a long white-and-orange flower garland. Before him, a seated devotee in white garments with red shawl and red-and-white beaded necklace is pouring or offering from a silver plate of petals, while a man in white with a red shawl kneels and cups his hands in prayer. Women in white and red shawls sit on the carpeted floor with hands folded, and silver bowls, flowers and offering trays lie nearby. Ornate silver columns and red drapery frame the scene. Appearance-based candidate for the figure on the throne: Swamiji (probable), identified by saffron robes, swept hair, a crown-style head wrap, ceremonial garland and trident; the page's Pada Puja context matches the foot-worship offering shown.2014-08-05May 01 20142014-05-01May 21 20162016-05-21November 10 20152015-11-10A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests wears a red-orange turban, a red and green flower garland, gold bangles and a saffron-orange garment, smiling as a woman in a rust-orange sari with gold border and glasses, holding a flower, reaches toward him. A woman in a white garment with gold border, bangles and a tray sits at the left, and an attendant in white stands at the right beside a gilded lamp stand and a microphone stand. The scene resembles a ritual honouring at a throne, with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne wearing a turban, flower garland, bangles and orange clothing, and the presence is an appearance-based candidate rather than a confirmed identification.2015-11-10A photograph in a hall with red carpet and maroon curtains. A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red tiger-striped upholstery wears a rust-orange turban and orange-red draped cloth with a gold waistband and beaded necklaces, and reaches forward to greet people. Several women in white and orange-red saris with rudraksha malas stand in a line, and a man in a white shirt and a bald child-sized figure kneel or bend near the throne. A child in a turquoise shirt stands in the background beside a wall-mounted air conditioner, and a flower-decorated tray sits on the floor.2014-08-16April 27 20162016-04-27
