July 03 20122012-07-03December 27 20082008-12-27Photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne decorated with white jasmine and red-green floral garlands. He wears a red and white patterned turban, a red tilak on his forehead, a long ceremonial gold necklace with a gold pendant, and holds a small silver trident. He smiles while a man in a cream embroidered sherwani and red patterned turban bends low to touch his feet. A woman in a red bandhani sari kneels beside, and onlookers stand behind, including a man in a white kurta and another in a dark jacket, with a man in orange at left. Orange-garlanded ritual items and a gilded deity shrine are visible in the background. Appearance-based cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha-style gold necklace and turban on the throne match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a seated role receiving a padapuja-style honour during a ritual at a temple setting.2009-07-09May 24 20122012-05-24A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a pink-and-white flower garland, with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and gold beaded necklaces, sitting on an ornate gold throne with carved backrest. A man in a white shirt and orange-bordered dhoti stands bent forward with palms pressed together, receiving a touch on the forehead from the seated figure's hand. A golden lion-shaped stand and bright marigold and rose floral decorations surround the throne. The setting resembles a darshan or blessing moment in a temple-like hall.2009-12-24January 08 20122012-01-08October 24 20102010-10-24July 17 20082008-07-17October 07 20082008-10-07December 27 20082008-12-27July 17 20082008-07-17December 27 20082008-12-27
