February 13 20182018-02-13February 13 20182018-02-13A photograph inside a temple hall with a red-patterned floor, showing a bearded man with long dreadlocked hair and a tripundra mark on his forehead, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a large rudraksha mala and a gold chain, standing with hands joined at his waist and smiling. Beside him stands a large polished silver bowl on a gold-cloth-draped stool, surrounded by orange and yellow flower garlands, next to a lit silver oil lamp. On the right, a tall garland of pink lotus, green leaves and marigolds drapes over a gold brocade-covered seat or peetha. A small silver cup sits on the stool. The scene reads as a puja setting with offerings.2018-05-30February 13 20182018-02-13A photograph of a seated man in a red-orange robe wearing a leopard-print turban, many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a white vertical tilak on his forehead, smiling as he works a wooden hand-driven drilling or pressing device. Two attendants lean in from the left: one in a red cloth with long dark hair, another with white horizontal markings on the arms and a bare shoulder, feeding material into a small wooden trough over a small flame. A stone mortar and pestle sit in the foreground. Behind, a golden ornamental backdrop with brass lamps and green foliage; a microphone boom runs across the frame. Visible people: three, plus the seated man's appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of a leopard turban, rudraksha malas and red-orange robe.2017-12-10December 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesA bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped under a leopard-print headband sits cross-legged on a patterned cloth, eyes closed, both hands resting on a black wooden box. He wears a maroon dhoti and shawl with many rudraksha mala strands across his chest and rudraksha bands on his arms, a gold chain at his neck and a vertical tilak on his forehead. A microphone stand is angled beside his face. Around him sit a brass trident, tall brass lamp stands, silver vessels on a small table, a dark stone mortar, a wicker basket and bowls of small herbal items. A glowing golden backdrop and green lights fill the background. a person: the long hair and rudraksha-laden saffron-red clothing match the cues on the page, though the appearance is only partly clear.2017-12-10A smiling man seated cross-legged on a gold-and-brown throne draped with a tiger-stripe cloth, raising one hand mid-discourse before a microphone. He wears a rust-brown turban with a gold crescent moon and gold emblem, a rust-brown robe with gold border, a heavy gold floral necklace with a gold pendant, and brown rudraksha-style beaded garlands and bracelets. Behind him stand golden deity statues against red drapes, with green potted plants and an orange water bottle beside him. Appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji (saffron-brown turban, gold ornaments, rudraksha) giving a live satsang talk.2017-01-08A seated man in rust-red saffron robes and a rudraksha mala across his chest and waist sits on an ornate silver and red velvet throne with swan-shaped armrests. He holds a flower-tipped ceremonial staff decorated with coloured bands and gestures toward a standing attendant on the left, who wears orange garments and has long dreadlocked hair. A gold lattice screen and silver lectern frame the scene. A second seated figure in orange clothing is visible behind. A red-cushioned footstool rests beneath his feet. A distinctive appearance cue for the seated central figure is long swept hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with a person presiding over the ceremony.2018-01-06February 13 20182018-02-13February 13 20182018-02-13February 13 20182018-02-13
