Before him a woman in a white top bends forward, offering something from her hands, and a man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala holds a small vessel above a large gold-rimmed bowl on a gold stand. To the left a person in orange holds a ceremonial staff. Other devotees and attendees in white shirts and orange garments stand behind, and a large screen shows a crowd in the background.2015-12-18Close photo of a padapuja ritual at the feet of a person in an orange saffron garment with gold border. A woman in a cream sari with a blue-thread necklace and gold bangles pours water from a silver vessel over the feet, while another person in a teal blue top and a figure in white handle silver bowls, a red apple and pink and white flower petals in a gold tray. Partial view of the seated people.2011-11-26December 11 20122012-12-11A seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a dark-walled room is receiving padapuja from devotees. He wears an orange-and-gold turban with a jewelled ornament, a multi-strand floral garland of marigolds and white flowers, a bare chest with bangles, and an orange-brown wrap; his bare feet rest on a floral arrangement. Three devotees kneel or sit before him: a woman in an orange blouse holding a small bowl, an older woman in orange with palms joined, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala holding a bowl. Silver trays hold bowls of yellow liquid, rice, fruit and marigold petals. Hanging brass bells and a brass lamp stand behind the throne, and a camera on a tripod stands at left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the turban, garland, bare chest, rudraksha mala and gold throne, with padapuja as the ritual shown.2014-08-17A photograph of a ritual darshan inside a red-draped hall with gold ceremonial lamps. A seated figure in orange-red robes and a red turban, wearing a yellow flower garland, extends a fruit toward a kneeling man in a white kurta and dark-rimmed glasses who is cutting a fruit on a tray of offerings. Behind them a line of devotees stands, including a woman in a white sari with a red shawl and rudraksha-style beads, a woman in a yellow patterned sari, and a man in a light blue shirt. A shaved-headed priest in saffron and gold-bordered cloth with tripundra marks stands at left, and another in red robes with vibhuti marks stands at right. Gold staffs and a tall gold lamp stand in the background. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.2015-10-25A padapuja ritual at a gold-trimmed throne. A seated man in white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala and a small silver bowl in his hands, sits beside two women: one in an orange blouse with hands folded in prayer, another in a white sari with orange border holding a bowl. A large figure seated on the golden throne wears a rust-brown robe with orange-gold border and has bare feet being offered worship. Silver thalis hold flowers, yellow and orange offerings, and a decorated plate of red, orange and yellow petals lies at the feet. A brass oil lamp hangs above and a white air conditioner sits on the wall. The visible name tag and the throne-seated figure are not sufficient for identification.2014-08-17December 12 20122012-12-12December 20 20122012-12-20
