A seated man in a maroon-brown robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne on a stage, with a gold trident standing behind him and a red bolster at his feet. He wears a white-and-pink flower garland, layered rudraksha and beaded necklaces, and has a long beard and swept-back hair; his bare arm rests on his knee while his right hand rests on the head of a small boy in a white kurta who kneels before him. A young attendant in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands at left with a hand on the boy's shoulder. Red and purple stage lighting fills the background.2017-04-04April 04 20172017-04-04April 04 20172017-04-04April 04 20172017-04-04A seated man in a rust-brown ochre robe sits on a red cushioned throne with a large gold repoussé backrest. He wears long gold ceremonial chains with bell-shaped gold beads, and a red-and-yellow flower garland. He holds a pink-and-white striped staff with a white tuft and a red-and-yellow flower garland, and smiles while touching the bare back of a young boy in a white dhoti. The boy wears rudraksha beads and stands in front of him. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala is partly visible at left, and a person's arm appears at the right edge. Visible cues for the seated man include long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklaces, saffron-brown clothing and a vibhuti mark, so he is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate seated on the throne.2017-08-02April 04 20172017-04-04August 11 20172017-08-11March 03 20182018-03-03A photograph of a ceremonial blessing inside an ornately decorated hall. A bare-chested, shaved-headed devotee kneels forward while a seated man in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap and rust shawl, with a long braided-looking dark hair, rudraksha-like beads and gold necklaces, places his right hand on the devotee's head. The seated figure sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne-like seat with silver railings. Behind them hang garlands of marigolds and roses in yellow, red, white and green, and a silver bowl stands on a small table. A younger attendant in saffron-orange cloth with rudraksha malas stands at the left edge, watching. The scene resembles a shakti initiation blessing.2018-04-19April 03 20182018-04-03January 21 20182018-01-21February 13 20172017-02-13
