A photograph of a man standing in a gilded ceremonial hall beside a golden throne with an ornate carved back and dark velvet cushion. He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over one shoulder, a long multi-strand gold necklace, a gold armlet and bangles, and has an upswept dark turban-style hairstyle with a red bindi. His eyes are closed in quiet absorption. Behind him stands a tall yellow-and-white striped ritual pillar topped with a disc, and to the right are floral garlands in orange and pink marigolds and ornate decorative objects. Probable Swamiji is the figure depicted in these visual cues, with his distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace, standing in an in-person ceremonial setting.

A seated man in an ornate golden throne with a large gold-and-red scrolled backrest sits cross-legged on red cushions in front of red drapes. He wears a rust-red dhoti and wrap, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a white vibhuti-style marking with a red mark on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept back, and his hands rest together in his lap. Beside him are a steel tumbler, a small table and a folded red-and-brown cloth ornament with a feathered top. The appearance matches the swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned clothing, so this is a probable in-person presence. A microphone stands at the right edge of the frame, indicating a seated discourse setting.2017-07-04 +1 copiesOctober 12 20172017-10-12October 16 20172017-10-16October 18 20172017-10-18June 22 20172017-06-22A smiling man in saffron and orange robes sits on an ornate silver and gold throne with carved lion-faced armrests and leopard-print cushions.
