A man wearing a navy knitted cap and a red-and-gold brocade shawl over white clothes sits on a gold-quilted throne-like seat beside an ornate gold pillar, with a silver covered vessel in the foreground. Pink and yellow flower garlands hang on the seat, and a white-clad attendant stands behind. A red sign on the orange wall reads that more than 20,000 people in 247 countries have taken darshan of the Anandeshwara-Anandeshwari deity murti, which lives in an ashram every day. Stone carved pillars frame the right side of the scene.

A man with a rust-red turban and a long pink-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions. He wears a rudraksha-style gold necklace, bangles, and a brown dhoti-like wrap with a leopard-print cloth. Smoke or incense drifts in the foreground. Below him, a seated audience in white and pink saris and red garments watches. In the lower right, a figure in a tan garment with white hair stands with their back to the camera near offering trays with flowers. Orange and red ceremonial banners and a brass lamp frame the scene. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair beneath the turban, gold jewelry and a garland, matching the page's Swamiji cue, so this is a probable identification of Swamiji seated on the throne.2016-12-07June 08 20172017-06-08January 02 20162016-01-02 +1 copiesA seated man in orange-red robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved, sunburst-style back and a burgundy canopy with gold embroidery and fringe above. He has a red tilak on his forehead and long, braided hair falling forward, and smiles while resting his hands on the chair's gold armrests. Behind him to the left, a man in white dhoti with gold borders and a dark rudraksha mala stands. The pink-draped tent setting has a seated figure in the background. Several seated audience members in the foreground face the throne, including a bald man in a white shirt and others in yellow and blue.2016-04-16November 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesOctober 05 20162016-10-05 +1 copiesA man in a saffron-orange robe with maroon border and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet upholstery and a golden canopy hung with leaf-shaped pendants. A red bindi marks his forehead. He rests his hands clasped in his lap and gazes forward. Two brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside the throne, and orange and white flower arrangements decorate the sides. In front, three seated devotees in white clothing sit with their backs to the camera, facing him. Before the throne, a gilded offering tray holds pink lotus flowers and incense sticks. A large painted backdrop of a deity figure with stone pillars fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the man on the throne wears saffron robes, rudraksha mala and a long-haired appearance consistent with the page's identification.2011-02-02December 22 20152015-12-22May 12 20182018-05-12December 12 20162016-12-12
