A life-size cutout printed photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged in a red turban and rust-red robes, with dark rudraksha malas and gold bead necklaces, palms raised in blessing. He is a flat image, not a physical person. In front of it sits a red cloth altar with a gold bead garland, a brass cup and bowl, and a small gold figure with a pink flower. A glass bowl of pink roses floats in water on the floor, and a silver aarti tray holds a lit oil lamp, flowers and brass vessels on a patterned rug. A framed red and gold deity print hangs at right beside a shelf of small figurines. Because this is a cutout portrait, the figure is classed as a depiction.

Swamiji (probable) is the label for this printed depiction, based on the red turban, rudraksha mala and ornate saffron-red clothing. In front of it sits a polished brass vessel with a brass yantra plate on a gold-toned throne-like seat draped with dark fabric and gold leaf trim, holding yellow and red flowers, dark rudraksha beads and a small lamp. Smaller brass deity figures, a framed deity picture, a brass plate of purple and yellow flowers and a conch shell surround it.2024-12-09A life-size cutout photograph of a smiling man seated cross-legged on a jewelled peacock-style throne with a red turban, vibhuti mark on forehead, red garment, layered rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, holding a trident and a white flower-like offering in his hands. In front stands a silver puja plate heaped with red and yellow roses and a pink flower, with brass lamps and betel-type leaves. A printed book cover reading "Living Enlightenment" and CD cases labelled "Bala Shiva Puja" sit before the cutout, with a wooden elephant figurine at left. Because the figure is a printed cutout rather than a physical person, it is treated as a depiction; the appearance cues of turban, trident, rudraksha and gold adornments are consistent with a Swamiji (probable) depiction.2022-08-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82901732022-09-15 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 5/30/20222022-05-30 +1 copiesKAILASA SAN FERNANDO, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO on 2/13/20212021-02-13 +1 copiesA cutout standee of a smiling man in a maroon turban with a red tilak, wearing a maroon garment, rudraksha mala, white jasmine garland and gold necklaces, holding a trident and a dish in a seated pose on a patterned cushioned throne.

Peacock feathers with a jewelled brooch are placed at his side. In front stand a brass kalasha-like vessel with pink and yellow flowers on an orange cloth, a brass oil lamp and a brass ritual staff. Purple floral curtains hang behind. The cutout is a depiction, not a live person, and the scene appears to be a shrine-style display.
