December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07A photograph of a seated man in a crowded hall, the main subject dressed in rust-orange robes with a matching orange turban and long dark hair. He wears a heavy gold-coloured ceremonial necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, raises a small lit ritual lamp in his right hand, and sits on a striped tiger-skin seat. Beside him a gilded bull statue (Nandi) stands, and a tall golden trident (trishul) rises on his right. Dozens of seated devotees in orange, white and red clothing fill the foreground and middle, many facing him, with a camera on a tripod at the upper left and a blue-white draped backdrop behind. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long hair, orange turban, ornate necklace and orange robes match the page's description of the speaker seated on the throne.2016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07A seated man in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe sits on a red throne beside a large golden bull statue, holding up a small ceremonial arrow or stick in his raised right hand. He wears layered gold ceremonial necklaces, a rudraksha-style mala and gold bangles, and a golden trident stands beside him. A seated audience in front of him includes women in saris and salwar, some with white head coverings, plus men in shirts. Red and orange hanging banners decorate the hall, with a large screen on the right.2016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07A seated man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-orange dhoti-style wrap sits on a tiger-skin-draped seat beside a large gilded bull statue (Nandi) with bells on its neck. He wears layered gold necklaces, a rudraksha-style gold pendant, gold armbands and a red tilak, and holds a tall gold trident on the right. Behind him a large seated audience in saris, kurtas and white garments fills a bright hall, with a fan at right. Appearance cues (long swept-back hair under the turban, ornate gold jewellery, saffron clothing, trident and throne) suggest a person seated on stage as the teacher, but the image is not certain enough to confirm identity.2016-12-07
