December 05 20162016-12-05December 06 20162016-12-06A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a large dark turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy, a gold garland and rudraksha-style beads around his neck, one hand raised in blessing. Before him a woman in white kneels with folded hands while attendants in saffron and orange stand nearby, one wearing dark sunglasses. A large golden deity murti of a four-armed figure with a crescent moon on the head stands behind on a red draped backdrop, with a trident leaning at left and a gold-and-pink decorated chariot canopy at right. Four or more people visible, several in ceremonial dress.2016-09-28December 05 20162016-12-05December 05 20162016-12-05October 01 20162016-10-01December 05 20162016-12-05July 11 20062006-07-11A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron wrap, a brown beaded mala and ornate gold necklaces and bangles, sitting on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions. He places a hand on the head of a devotee kneeling before him. Around them, women in white saris with gold borders and white headbands stand in a line, some reaching toward him with hands folded, within a ceremonial hall with gold and red decor. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure matches cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments in a ceremonial deeksha setting.2016-06-19Indoor ceremonial scene before a gilded throne with carved golden lion figures and a red-cushioned seat. A seated figure in saffron-orange turban and orange robe, wearing a marigold and red flower garland, sits at left facing a line of women in white saris with gold borders and red shawls; one standing woman holds a red fruit and a rudraksha mala. Brass oil lamps and a deity murti stand near the throne, with more devotees in white and orange saris along the red carpet at right. The seated figure has no visible long hair, crown or ceremonial gold necklace, so identity remains uncertain; roles are a seated presiding figure and devotees receiving darshan.2015-11-01December 05 20162016-12-05January 30 20162016-01-30
