On the left, a man in a red-orange turban and matching saffron shawl sits on an ornate gold throne carved with animal figures, holding a small object in his hands. Around him, devotees sit on the floor in white, orange and red-bordered saris and white kurtas with orange shawls, many holding small brass vessels or bowls and some with rudraksha malas. A bald man in white wearing a rudraksha mala sits in front of them, and a brass oil lamp stands at the right edge beside white cloth. The scene looks like a puja or darshan. The seated figure on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with turban, saffron clothing, and ornate gold seating, and the page names Swamiji at this event.2015-10-26December 15 20152015-12-15 +1 copiesPhotograph of a seated figure in a saffron-red garment with a bare upper back, wearing a thick green-bead necklace and rudraksha-style beads, holding a large gold vessel toward a group of devotees.
