A standing man in white clothes is partly visible at left, beside a board with framed black-and-white portraits. Silver vessels and a patterned rug lie to the right.

July 26 20142014-07-26 +3 copiesJuly 26 20142014-07-26 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate silver throne with an embossed backrest beneath a red-and-gold fringed canopy, in front of a green, blue and black fan-pleated backdrop. He wears an orange-red saffron wrap, a red bindi and a long ceremonial gold necklace of beads, and sits with eyes lowered while his hands rest in a large embossed silver bowl of yellow rice. A silver trident stands at his left, a leopard-print cushion lies at his feet, and a brass vessel, glasses and a green leaf-covered table are in view. Appearance cues are a saffron wrap, gold necklace and ornate throne, but the face and presentation are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the identity is unsure.2014-07-26 +1 copiesMarch 30 20162016-03-30March 30 20162016-03-30March 30 20162016-03-30May 23 20152015-05-23 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual inside a hall with a dark drape and a white backdrop. A seated figure in an ornate gold throne wears a saffron-red cloth, a rudraksha mala, and a gold ceremonial necklace; long hair, a bindi, and a dark-rimmed face are visible, and the figure holds a handful of yellow turmeric-like offering. A standing priest in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, with cropped hair and glasses, reaches forward with offerings toward a large silver bowl filled with yellow material on a green cloth. A fan, a striped rug, and a patterned carpet are in the foreground.2013-07-10 +1 copiesA smiling man with long dreadlocked black hair sits on an ornate silver throne, holding a microphone in one hand and scooping yellow prasadam from a large silver bowl with the other. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless wrap, a rudraksha mala, and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead. A silver lion figure stands beside him, and a silver tray with a banana leaf holds more yellow offerings in front. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange ritual clothing and rudraksha malas match the page's claim that Swamiji attended this event. A partially visible hand appears at the right edge.2018-01-08A seated man with a white and red forehead marking and rudraksha mala beads and gold necklaces sits on an ornate gold throne, wearing a pink-maroon garment with a rust-coloured shawl draped over his lap. Two young attendants in red-orange robes stand before him; one holds a silver bowl filled with yellow flower petals or turmeric-coloured offerings on a green cloth, and the other tends the offering beside him. A boy in an orange top sits at left and another attendant in red stands at right. The setting is an indoor hall with bamboo-style screens behind the throne.2016-03-30A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat, bare-chested with a dark red-orange shawl draped over his lap and shoulders, wearing a long rudraksha mala necklace and a red tilak on his forehead. He reaches into a large silver bowl of yellow offering with his right hand, in a ceremony setting. Flower arrangements of roses and lilies in brass vases flank the throne, and a fan is visible at upper right. The appearance-based label a person applies, since the figure shows the throne, rudraksha mala and saffron-toned shawl cues.2014-09-13Annadhan during Allahabad Kumbhamela 20132013-01-01 +1 copies
