A seated man in saffron-red robes with a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace sits on a large gilded throne-like chair at left, eyes closed, receiving a green leaf from a woman. She wears a white sleeveless-style top with glasses and short white hair, kneeling at a low table holding the leaf. Behind them, men in white dhotis with gold borders and red sashes stand near steel pots, vessels and a tray of green leaves and a coconut-shaped offering, while a woman in white stands at right. A fan and blue curtain are in the background. Figures indicate a ritual food offering setting.

Across from him, a woman in a white sari with a red shawl and a bindi sits on the floor behind a white-covered table. Before them are brass bowls of food, steel pots, a platter of green leaves and a small plate with coconut and betel-like offerings. In the background, several people in white dhotis and cream shawls with red and gold borders move around the food preparation, and a red sofa sits at right. The scene looks like a food offering or prasadam serving, with a seated figure receiving or blessing the food. The man on the throne has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a mala, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate in appearance, but the image is a photo of an in-person scene.2015-12-20A photo of a kitchen-like hall where a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red thread on his wrist, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling as he reaches toward a woman in a white sari with gold border who is holding a leaf with food. Behind them, several men in white dhotis with gold borders and red sashes stand near large steel pots and trays. A tray of green leaves and small brass bowls sits in front. Steel vessels line a white-clothed table; a red sofa and blue curtain are visible in the background.2015-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20December 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20A seated man in an ornate gold-and-red throne chair wears an orange-red dhoti and a rudraksha mala, a shawl-like orange wrap across his body, and sits with his hands extended. Across from him, a man in a white kurta and white dhoti with a red-and-white checked head cloth and an orange-red rudraksha mala bends forward to place an offering on a plate. A large silver pot and steel vessels sit on a white table with banana leaves and betel leaves nearby. Behind them, several men in white dhotis with red and gold borders and red-and-gold garlands stand near a kitchen counter, and a woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at the right. The setting is an indoor hall with a blue backdrop and an electric fan. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and orange-gold clothing, which is a probable match for the presentation described on the page.2015-12-20 +1 copiesA photograph of a food-offering scene at an indoor event hall.
