A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra-hood backrest, in front of a large painted deity murti with multiple arms holding ritual objects and a garland-draped backdrop. The seated man wears a rust-red robe, heavy gold necklaces, a pink and white flower garland, and a gold armband; he sits cross-legged with his face lifted. Two people in white clothes with rust-orange shawls stand beside the throne, one bending toward him with hands near his shoulder, and a woman in a rust-red sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. Several people appear, all standing or bending near the stage. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and saffron-red robes, placed on a throne with a deity backdrop.2016-10-04October 04 20162016-10-04A photograph of a ceremonial stage with red drapes and a large deity murti backdrop showing a four-armed figure holding a trident-like staff and other objects. A seated bearded man with long dark hair wears a pink and white flower garland, rudraksha-style beads, a gold necklace and an orange-brown dhoti, seated on an ornate golden throne with a cobra-hood canopy. Around him, several attendants in orange-brown saffron-toned garments and white clothing stand with folded hands, one holding a sheet of paper and another a gold ritual lamp stand. A gold trident leans against the left side of the stage. The scene suggests a ceremonial gathering. Three people are shown in the frame, with others partly visible at the edges.2016-10-10A ceremonial scene on a stage before a large red backdrop with a painted deity image. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy wears saffron-orange robes, a beaded necklace and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a beard; he is smiling and appears to be blessing or greeting a devotee. A bald man in a white shirt and grey shorts kneels barefoot before the throne with his head bowed close to the seated figure. To the left, two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand, one with a rudraksha mala and another holding a mobile phone in hand, and a shirtless man in an orange cloth kneels at the throne's foot near flowers and an offering. Red velvet cushions and white flowers surround the throne base. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, based on his saffron robes, long hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold throne.2016-11-11A photograph of a ceremonial scene in a temple-style hall.
