A shaved-headed man in rust-red robes with a gold-bordered cloth holds a copper vessel aloft with his right arm while standing beside a fire pit. Beside him a man in a white dhoti and shawl with a dark rudraksha mala and red wrist threads stands with hands folded. Seated on an orange throne-like chair at right is a man in rust-red robes with gold trim, wearing white and orange flower garlands, hands resting in his lap. Behind him a priest holds a bell, and a brass pot and offerings sit near the fire. Yellow and red ceremonial banners hang from a red frame overhead. A homa or yagna offering is in progress; people in orange and maroon sit on the ground at left. The seated man has no distinctive appearance cues beyond garlands and throne, so identity is uncertain.2014-10-02June 26 20132013-06-26A standing man in a rust-red saffron-toned wrap with broad gold bands at the waist and hem raises both hands overhead in an open gesture on a stage. He wears a multi-strand gold bead necklace over a red-orange rudraksha-style mala, a lavender bead mala, gold bangles and a red bindi, and is barefoot on a red patterned carpet. Behind him stand an ornate gold throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-striped cushion before dark maroon velvet drapes. Probable Swamiji is shown with long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial gold necklaces, presenting a stage address; the throne and gold ornamentation are visible as setting, not as identification.2013-05-04June 04 20132013-06-04
