Long dark hair falls past the shoulders. Marigold petals and white flower petals lie on the red carpet below, with potted flowers at left and a tasselled canopy above. Two people in orange robes stand in the background. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) with long hair, saffron-toned ornate dress, rudraksha garland and a throne setting.2012-12-16A seated man in a tiger-striped garment with an orange cloth and a white shell-bead necklace receives an offering from a young boy in a white shirt and white shorts. The seated man, with his hair swept back, is wearing a tiger-striped wrap and a white bead necklace, and he is extending his arm to take the packet. A gold lion-shaped throne or carved golden figure sits in the foreground, and a red umbrella with tassels is above. A woman in red stands behind holding a silver tray with offerings, and a red-robed attendant is in the background. Purple lighting and a patterned white rug suggest a ceremonial hall, consistent with a pada puja.2012-12-20A seated man in a rust-brown silk dhoti and matching shawl with gold borders sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth. He wears a long white and red flower garland of jasmine and roses across his chest, white vibhuti and a red bindi on his forehead, bangles on his wrists, and a small earring.

He wears a long white jasmine and red rose garland, a white forehead mark with a red dot, and beaded bangles on his wrists. Behind him hang brass bells and a brass lamp, and in front at his feet are silver bowls with flowers and offerings. His eyes are lowered. The throne's gold carving and the dark backdrop with small lights suggest a formal ceremonial setting. Appearance-based cues are a shaved-free head, forehead marks and garland, but his features are not clear enough to confirm identity, so this is a priest-like figure with uncertain identity.2013-11-10November 03 20132013-11-03June 18 20132013-06-18August 20 20142014-08-20December 20 20122012-12-20December 16 20122012-12-16
