Indoor photo in a dark room with a gold-ornate throne. A man with long dark hair, bare-chested except for an orange saffron cloth wrap, rudraksha-style ornamentation and a gold garland, sits on a red-cushioned gold throne with a zebra-print cover, hands folded, feet resting on a gold tray of flowers and fruit. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand beside him. Two devotees kneel before him in prayer: a man in white with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a red and gold sari with folded palms. A partly visible man in glasses sits at the lower right. Four people are visible, and the scene reflects a padapuja-style honouring of the seated figure.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha-style necklace of beads sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red velvet with a tiger-striped cloth. Two kneeling devotees in front press their palms together: a man in white with a mala, and a woman in a magenta sari with gold border. Their feet are being attended by a devotee in dark clothing, with a brass plate holding flowers, kumkum and vermilion-dotted offerings, and a brass lamp on the floor. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand behind the throne against a dark wall. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads on a throne-based padapuja setting.2012-04-27April 27 20122012-04-27A photograph in a dark-walled room showing a long-haired man in orange robes, with a red mark on his forehead, seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-striped backrest. He wears a long garland of beads and bangles on his arms and sits barefoot. Before him, a kneeling man in white clothes with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a red sari with folded hands perform worship, next to a brass tray holding offerings of fruit and small bowls. Several tall brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside the throne, and a partly visible person sits at the bottom right.2012-04-27A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long garland of rudraksha beads sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, smiling, with a red bindi on his forehead and bangles on his wrists. Two devotees kneel before him with palms pressed together: a man in white ritual clothing with a rudraksha mala, and a woman in a red-and-gold sari with a gold necklace. Between them on a golden tray are small lamps, fruit and flower offerings. Several brass oil lamps with bird-shaped finials burn along the black wall behind. Swamiji is probable; the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha garland and gold armbands, consistent with the page's claim.

Around him, a woman in a maroon sari with folded hands and a girl in a pink patterned top kneel in prayer, a man in a white kurta with folded hands sits near a camera, and a man in a green shirt sits at the right. Several more people sit in the dim background near a curtain, with a white-walled room and a wall light behind them.2013-02-19
