A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in an ashram hall. A seated figure in saffron-orange and red cloth, with a white vibhuti mark on the forehead, wears a red-and-white flower garland and a leaf garland, and sits on a red zebra-striped throne beside a gold lion-headed armrest. Before them a woman in a white sari and a man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard kneel with folded hands, holding fruit offerings. A silver tray of oranges and limes sits in the foreground. Behind them, women in white and yellow saris and an orange-robed attendant stand near a large gold throne draped with garlands. A patterned red rug covers the floor.2014-11-30A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a purple and white flower garland and bangles sits on a leopard-print seat, smiling and holding out a red fruit to a man in a white dhoti with a gold border who bows forward with hands folded. A woman in a white sari with a rudraksha-style mala kneels nearby, watching. Behind them stands a golden horse vahana draped in red and yellow flower garlands, with a brass lamp and figurines on the right. Another woman in a red-and-brown sari stands at the top right. The setting is a temple-like hall with a red carpet and red cloth backdrop. A seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, flower garlands and seated throne-like position.2016-02-21March 13 20162016-03-13April 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesNovember 22 20162016-11-22A photograph inside a temple-style hall with a golden throne draped in red cushions and garlands of red, white and pink flowers.
