September 18 20162016-09-18A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with lion-shaped armrests and a leopard-print cushion sits before a large golden relief of a multi-armed goddess with a crown and necklaces. A candidate in a saffron-orange garment with a garland of white and red flowers and a trident beside him is shown seated; appearance cues are limited to the garland and saffron clothing, so the identity is uncertain. A white-clad devotee kneels before the throne with hands folded, while a man in a white kurta and a man in dark blue hold their palms together nearby. A man in a mustard-yellow kurta stands to the right with an outstretched hand, and a red curtain frames the scene. Six people are visible in total.2016-09-11A photograph inside a temple-like hall with red curtains and a large golden relief of a four-armed goddess with a crown behind a golden throne. A seated man with long dark hair and a large green-and-pink flower garland sits on a gold throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, raising one hand in blessing. A white-clad devotee bows deeply before him. Standing nearby, a man in a mustard-orange kurta holds a lit lamp, while a younger man in a navy shirt bends forward. A woman in a white top and a man in a maroon kurta stand at left, with a seated man in a light shirt at lower left. A brass trident and brass lamps stand at the edges.2016-09-11September 11 20162016-09-11November 03 20162016-11-03September 24 20162016-09-24Photograph of a ritual scene before a large Shiva-form deity image with gold leaf and red curtains. A central seated figure in an orange-brown robe, with a dark turban, a long gold-beaded necklace and a large ornate gold pendant, sits on a gold throne carved with a cobra hood, reaching out a hand in blessing toward a kneeling devotee. A shirtless young man with a rudraksha-style necklace stands behind the kneeling devotee, touching his head, and another man in a white dhoti and rust-coloured sash bends forward. Around them stand a woman in white with long blonde hair, a woman in a dark robe, and two women in white and orange with black blindfolds over their eyes. A red cushion and small ritual items sit at the base of the throne. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by his turban, gold necklaces and saffron-orange robe.2016-09-28July 25 20142014-07-25September 23 20162016-09-23September 23 20162016-09-23January 08 20172017-01-08A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne in an orange-draped ceremonial tent. The seated person wears an orange robe, a long red-and-white flower garland, rudraksha beads, and gold necklaces, with a red shawl draped over the shoulder; the presentation is consistent with the a person candidate, with the adornments as cues. A bald man in a white dhoti stands at left holding a red cloth and a small puja item, and a second bald man in orange cloth stands at right holding a tray of red cloths. Behind the throne stands a gilded deity murti in blue and gold with a trident-like staff, and a silver trident rests in front. Brass puja vessels sit on a table at left.2013-02-06
