A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, in front of a large black stone vessel and a golden trident-topped ceremonial staff. He wears rust-orange robes, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, a white floral garland, gold armbands, and a white tilak on his forehead; his eyes are closed and his hands rest on his lap. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and ornate gold necklace fit the cues. Around him sit devotees on a striped multicoloured cloth: women in orange saris and a woman in white with folded hands, a shaved-head man in white dhoti with hands joined, and a bare-chested man with white marks on his torso. Brass plates and a flower tray lie in front of the throne.

Beside and below him, devotees in orange and red saris and white dhotis sit on a striped multicolour cloth with hands in anjali mudra. A trident stands to the left, a dark stone structure behind, and a statue is visible on the right. Brass plates of offerings sit on the cloth.

A metal trident stands to his left. Around the stage, people sit on a striped multicolored cloth: several women in orange and red saris and white dhotis, a bald man in white dhoti, and a bare-chested man, several with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, rows of red stadium seating and a golden arch. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure shows long swept-back hair, a crown-like throne canopy, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-06-26June 26 20172017-06-26 +1 copies
