A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a golden-yellow turban sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on the right, facing a group of about ten seated devotees on the floor. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels near the center holding a small offering, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala and sandalwood tilak sits in front of the group. Women in saris sit in the foreground, one in white and one in a maroon sari. A cameraman in white stands behind a tripod, and a small framed picture rests on a stand beside the throne. Red curtains, a white tower fan and a water bottle complete the hall.

A seated figure on a red cushioned gold throne wears a pink and orange turban, a white floral garland with red flowers, a pink dhoti with gold border and gold armlets, and is bare-chested; a pink wrap is draped over the shoulder. Several devotees sit on the floor before brass plates of fruit and offerings: a man in a white shirt, a man in pale green kurta, a woman in an orange and gold sari, a man with white tripundra marks and rudraksha mala, and women in red and orange.2011-11-27July 31 20152015-07-31September 11 20112011-09-11A seated man in a red robe and a gold-bead garland sits on a gold ornate throne at the front of a hall, backed by a blue curtain and a flower-decorated arch of red, yellow, and purple blossoms. Below the throne, a group of devotees sits on an orange floor cloth: a shaved-headed monk in orange and gold-bordered white, a woman in a white sari with a yellow-bordered shawl, another woman in white, and a man in white dhoti with a tilak on his forehead, hands joined in namaste. A woman in a white sari holds a small silver bowl and a cup, and a microphone stand sits to the side. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man on the throne, identified by his long swept-back hair, red robe, and gold garland; the page indicates he is present.2010-12-22March 30 20122012-03-30September 11 20112011-09-11September 17 20102010-09-17September 17 20102010-09-17Photo of a padapuja ritual in a plain room with cream walls and a maroon curtain. A man in an orange-and-maroon turban, a grey-purple robe and a long beaded necklace sits on an ornate gold-trimmed throne with his bare feet extended forward. Four devotees sit on the floor before him: a man in a blue t-shirt, an older man with glasses and folded hands, a seated man with his head bowed, and a woman in a maroon sari. A silver plate holds flowers, fruit and a red offering in front of them. Behind them a man in white dhoti and shawl stands at a tripod-mounted camera. A brass lamp burns on a side table and a white tower fan stands against the wall. The seated figure matches the page's a person reference only through the turban, robe and throne, so the identity is uncertain.2011-08-20
