A photograph of a pushpabhishekam in progress on a stage. A seated figure in red and saffron-coloured clothing with white and pink floral garlands sits on a golden throne with lion-head armrests, a tiger-skin cushion at the base. Pink rose petals pour from a brass vessel held by a shirtless attendant in white dhoti with a red shawl, who stands behind and to the left. Golden trident stands and a golden deity-carved backdrop frame the scene. The seated figure has a red tilak on the forehead and wears gold ornaments and bangles. Swamiji (probable): a central seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, saffron-red robes and a gold necklace receiving the flower shower on his throne.

He wears a red-orange garment, a red tilak on his forehead, a white and red flower garland, layered gold necklaces and gold bangles, and his eyes are closed in a smiling expression. The throne has gold repoussé carving and red cushions, with a striped tiger-print cloth draped over the seat, and blurred heads of onlookers appear in the foreground. This appears to be a pushpabhishekam flower-offering ritual.2016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24
