October 11 20172017-10-11October 06 20172017-10-06A seated man in a long-haired, bare-chested ceremonial look with a red-orange cloth draped over his lap sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions. He wears a magenta flower garland and gold necklaces, with a red tilak on his forehead, and smiles with closed eyes as he receives blessing. A man in a white shirt bows with his head lowered in front of him, while an attendant places a hand on his head. The seat is backed by a large embossed silver panel with floral and scrollwork designs. a person appears in the seated figure, who is seated on the throne with a garland and gold ornaments, and is being honored.2017-09-28 +1 copiesOctober 11 20172017-10-11September 28 20172017-09-28September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesA seated man with long dark hair, a red-brown tilak on his forehead, a bare chest and a red-brown cloth wrapped at his waist, wears gold chains and beaded necklaces. He sits on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate silver-embossed throne back with a lion-head armrest in the foreground. A second man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala stands with his back to the camera, pressing a hand to the seated man's forehead while another man at left holds up a small white paper slip with a red-beaded wristband. A third raised hand appears at right. The scene is a stage initiation ceremony.2017-09-28 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial scene on a stage. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange garment and a green-and-white flower garland, sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with carved scrollwork, leopard-print cushions and lion figures. A shaved-headed man in an orange-and-maroon dhoti, bare-chested, sits in front of him with both hands raised toward the seated man's head, appearing to bless him. A hand at left holds up a white paper or cloth, and a lantern hangs at top left against a pink-purple backdrop. The seated man appears to be the figure described on the page as a person, identified by long hair, saffron clothing and garland; this is an appearance-based label only.2017-09-22 +1 copiesJanuary 26 20182018-01-26A bare-chested man in white dhoti and orange shawl, seen from behind with grey hair, bows his head while a seated man in an orange robe, long swept-back dark hair, forehead tilak and rudraksha-style beads places his hands on his head. The seated man sits on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, a red cushion behind him. Two physical people are visible.2017-09-26A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark swept-back hair and a red bindi sits on a red velvet throne with an ornate gold carved back. He raises both hands, palms toward a man seated in front of him, who wears a white shirt, a red beaded necklace and a white wrist band and raises his own hands in gesture. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame stands on a gold-decorated stand to the right, in front of a dark blue draped backdrop. The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a throne, so this is a probable in-person appearance.2010-12-02August 01 20142014-08-01
