Behind them, stainless-steel pots and bowls of curry and rice sit on a white-covered table, with leaves on a woven basket in front. Two attendants in white dhotis with red-and-gold sashes stand in the background near a blue backdrop, and a gold-and-white silver tray holds offerings. The scene suggests a ritual food offering in an ashram setting.2015-12-20A photo of a kitchen-like hall where a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red thread on his wrist, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling as he reaches toward a woman in a white sari with gold border who is holding a leaf with food. Behind them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and red sashes stand near large steel pots and trays. A tray of green leaves and small brass bowls sits in front.

Across from him, a woman in a white sari with a red shawl and a bindi sits on the floor behind a white-covered table. Before them are brass bowls of food, steel pots, a platter of green leaves and a small plate with coconut and betel-like offerings. In the background, several people in white dhotis and cream shawls with red and gold borders move around the food preparation, and a red sofa sits at right. The scene looks like a food offering or prasadam serving, with a seated figure receiving or blessing the food. The man on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a mala, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in appearance, but the image is a photo of an in-person scene.2015-12-20December 20 20152015-12-20A photograph of a food-offering scene at an indoor event hall.
