A photograph of a long-haired man seated cross-legged on a gold-and-red throne (peetha) framed by an arch of yellow marigolds, red flowers and green leaves. He wears a rust-orange robe, multiple rudraksha and gold malas, a gold necklace and a red bindi, and smiles broadly with his hands resting on his lap. Beside the throne stands a trident (trishula) and a gold-framed panel. A man in white with a red shawl, bending slightly, adjusts or attends to the throne on the right. Behind the throne are gold carved relief panels and a carved figure. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identifiable by the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-orange robe.

A seated man is enthroned on an ornate gold-and-red throne beneath an arch of yellow marigold garlands with red and white flower accents. He wears a rust-red garment, a layered gold necklace, a red-and-white beaded mala and gold bangles, and smiles while his hands rest on his lap. A silver trident stands at the left of the throne, and gold-relief carvings and a gilded backdrop frame the scene. The throne and garlands suggest an honoured seat, but the man's face and identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no identification is made. Visible cues include a shaved-looking head with dark hair at the top, the mala, the trident and the gold ornaments.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19A seated man in a rust-brown robe sits on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, draped in garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers, and wearing red and white beaded malas and a gold necklace. He has long dark hair swept up and a red tilak on his forehead, and smiles broadly. Behind him a leafy green and white floral backdrop frames the throne, with a tiger skin draped at the base. A golden trident stands to the left, and a man in a white dhoti with bare chest kneels beside it. A person in white and gold silk sits at the right edge. Golden relief carvings of seated deities decorate the wall behind. The figure in the centre has appearance cues consistent with a person, seated in the role of guru on the throne.2016-07-19July 19 20162016-07-19A photo inside a temple hall with gold-painted walls and a gold figure behind a throne.
