November 05 20102010-11-05May 17 20072007-05-17A blurred stage photo shows an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a gold canopy garlanded with yellow and red flowers, set against an orange-and-blue painted sunset backdrop. A seated figure in orange robes sits on the throne, with a person in white kneeling and bowing with forehead to the golden base. A woman in an orange garment stands at left and another woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right. Red-draped tables and a small lit lamp flank the throne. Appearance-based label: the seated figure in orange robes on the throne is a person candidate, though the face and features are too blurred to confirm.2009-08-18May 17 20072007-05-17May 17 20072007-05-17Photograph of a ritual on a stage at a Dasara celebration. A man with long dark hair wears a red robe and garlands and stands on a raised gold platform, holding a small offering vessel over a deity murti decorated with flower garlands. Beside him, a bald attendant in white dhoti and garlands stands holding a gold-handled yak-hair fan. Left, a kneeling attendant in white holds a lit oil lamp, and a man in orange robes holds a tray of flowers toward the platform. A large gold throne with a red cushion and gold ceremonial staffs stand nearby, with a backdrop portrait of a smiling man in orange and red. Pooja puja setting with oil lamp and flowers. The appearance of the long-haired figure in red with garlands is a person candidate, but this is uncertain.2010-10-17A seated figure in an ornate gilded throne at the centre of a stage, wearing an orange-saffron robe, an orange turban, a long rudraksha mala and red-tinted forehead markings, with hands folded in the lap. A tall silver trident stands beside the throne. To the left sits an older bearded man in saffron and white with an orange turban, and to the right a man in white dhoti and shirt. Brass oil lamps stand at the front, and a brass vessel with a floral arrangement of lotus-like blooms sits below. Behind the stage is a painted backdrop of a deity figure with a crown and radiating light, and potted red-leaved plants flank the throne.2015-05-09October 17 20102010-10-17October 05 20112011-10-05A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, wearing an orange turban, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a floral garland, sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold canopy and a backdrop of temple carvings. The seated figure raises one hand in blessing. Two people in white dhoti and white shirt kneel at the gold base of the throne, one touching it with both hands, while a woman in a white sari with a green and orange border kneels beside them, hands joined. Two standing attendants in white hold gold ceremonial fans and staffs, and a woman in a white sari with orange trim stands at right with hands folded near a gold trident-topped staff. Gold tridents and a gold kalasha-style fixture frame the scene. The seated figure's appearance (orange robes, turban, mala and garland on a throne) gives a probable Swamiji candidate in a throne-blessing setting.2010-11-05October 05 20112011-10-05 +1 copiesA stage event photograph with a large golden ornate throne at centre, on which a man in an orange-saffron dhoti and a red shawl sits with a red-orange turban, a white and orange flower garland, and a rudraksha-style necklace, hands resting on his lap.
