Four other men in pale green and white shirts stand behind, watching. Behind them are golden ornate decorations, a gold-trimmed throne with red cushion, and stone pillars in a temple-like hall.

A kneeling man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with short grey-flecked hair and a stubbled beard, extends cupped hands toward a seated figure on a gold-trimmed red throne. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, a long swept-back black hair style, a white horizontal tilak on the forehead and a dark rudraksha mala with a gold-toned necklace. The seated figure hands a small white object into the man's palms. Standing behind them are devotees in white, including a man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a saffron-trimmed chain, with hands folded. Gold-framed red cushions and a dark-brown wooden floor complete the setting. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron shawl, swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, receiving the devotee's kneeling offering.2012-05-14 +1 copiesMay 14 20122012-05-14A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long dark curly hair, rudraksha mala beads and a white forehead marking sits on a red-cushioned gold ornate throne, holding a small brass bowl of white powder (vibhuti or sandal paste) and touching the golden armrest. A kneeling man in a white shirt with folded hands sits at the right near the throne. Gold-carved throne back, pillars and temple interior with a brass lamp are visible.

He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti, who leans forward with cupped hands. A small silver-and-gold bowl sits near the throne. Several other men in white clothing stand in the background, and a red-and-orange flag hangs at the top left. The seated man's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues of saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and a golden throne, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity.2012-05-09A photograph in a stone-walled temple hall shows a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, wearing a brown-orange shawl over the shoulder, a rudraksha mala necklace, a beaded headband and a sandalwood-marked forehead, extending a hand with a small offering to a smiling man in a white shirt who bends forward with cupped hands. Another smiling man in a white shirt stands at left, and robed people in orange stand in the background near a gilded brass screen. A brass pot sits beside the throne on a golden cushion.2012-05-09A photograph inside a temple hall with a gilded throne-style seat. A man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-shouldered in an orange-saffron garment with a striped shawl and rudraksha mala, sits on a red-cushioned seat and reaches to take an object from a devotee. A man in a yellow-and-white striped shirt bends forward offering something, while another man in white shirt stands behind. Ornate gold seating and a saffron banner are visible in the background. The seated figure has white forehead markings; the appearance cues are distinctive enough for a probable identification as a person in a seated role of receiving an offering, with a devotee presenting an item. Four people are visible.2012-05-14 +1 copiesMay 11 20122012-05-11 +1 copiesMay 13 20122012-05-13Inside a pink-walled temple interior, a man in white kurta and rudraksha mala kneels and offers a small metal cup to a seated figure in a rust-red robe.
