A photograph of a devotee couple kneeling on a red carpet before a golden throne, performing padapuja. A seated figure in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange robe, with long braided hair, rests a hand on the kneeling man's head while smiling. The man wears a purple striped shirt and blue jeans; the woman wears a magenta dress and dupatta. Golden lion-armrest seats and a gold-carved throne back frame the scene against a gold draped backdrop with ornate pillars. To the left a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands, and on the right a woman in white sari with a rudraksha and flower garland gestures with open hands. Offerings sit on a tray at the throne's base. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure (turban, saffron-orange clothing, long braids) suggest a probable match to Swamiji.2014-07-07November 22 20152015-11-22May 02 20142014-05-02A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron garments seated on an ornate golden throne with brown leather cushioning, adorned with a gold-and-white beaded necklace. He is extending his hand toward a kneeling person dressed in white. A younger man in white with a red-and-gold shawl and gold necklace stands at the left, and a woman in saffron-orange robes kneels at the left foreground beside a small orange cloth-covered box and steel bottles on a red carpet. Another woman in white with a red-bordered shawl stands behind, and a silver-framed deity murti sits on a red-draped altar at right with brass lamps and colourful fringed canopies overhead. Named portraits are not visible. Five people are visible.2015-09-11November 22 20152015-11-22Photo of a ceremony on a stage with ornate gold-and-orange decor, brass oil lamps and a trident. A seated figure on a gilded throne wears a red-orange turban and bare-chested orange-red cloth with a gold border, and touches the head of a kneeling devotee in a blue top with a red shawl. A standing man in white with a rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant watches. A kneeling man in white touches the floor, and a woman in a dark green sari with gold border stands at right. Behind them are large gold deity murti figures and a gold-framed backdrop.2015-09-12A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne with a tall gilded back before dark red drapes. He wears a long layered rudraksha-style mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and one hand is extended. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and saris with gold borders bow and attend: a man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti rests a hand on the head of a bowing person in white, and a woman in a white sari holds up a small paper, while others in orange garments stand nearby. A brass lamp stands at the left and a gold-edged dais sits below the throne. The appearance matches the a person cues of saffron clothing, turban and mala on the throne, so the seated figure is a person in person.2015-11-22July 06 20092009-07-06July 09 20092009-07-09November 22 20152015-11-22September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesA seated figure in a golden ornate throne with a crimson cushion and a golden lion armrest, wearing an orange-red turban with a small emblem, orange-red robe, and a long cream-and-gold beaded mala.
