Behind him, robed attendants in red and orange carry a silver bowl and tray, and white-clad devotees stand with palms pressed together. In front, a grey stone slab holds white flowers, a pink flower, and a red printed card. A wooden railing and greenery line the path, and a person with a camera is visible in the background.2014-06-06September 30 20132013-09-30September 30 20132013-09-30 +1 copiesA standing man in a rust-orange turban and rust-orange dhoti with gold-bordered wrap raises both palms in a blessing or teaching gesture. He wears a dense rudraksha-style mala and a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant, plus beaded wrist and arm bands. A red-brown bindi marks his forehead. Behind him is a gold-draped altar decorated with white and purple garlands and a golden deity murti with a crown. A tall golden ceremonial fan stands at right and striped rugs cover the floor. The scene reads as a satsang or darshan setting; the man is a presenter of the teaching, with a probable appearance-based candidate for Swamiji in the turban, mala and gold necklaces.2015-05-23
