A photograph inside a temple-style hall shows a large seated golden murti on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back. The figure wears a red-orange turban, a red garment, a green and white flower garland, and a rudraksha mala, with one hand raised in blessing. A golden standing oil lamp and a red and gold umbrella-like canopy flank the throne, and a painted backdrop shows a temple tower in green hills. In front, a woman in a red sari with a rudraksha mala sits on the floor beside a lit oil lamp and a vessel, next to a framed photo, a flower garland, and a book with flower petals on a pink cloth. The seated figure is a statue, not a physical person.

A woman in a rust-red sari kneels with palms pressed together before a seated statue on a gilded throne with a red velvet back. The statue wears a red turban, a garland of green leaves and white and yellow flowers, rudraksha beads and ceremonial silver jewellery, with one hand raised in blessing. Framed photographs with garlands sit at its feet beside lit brass oil lamps and a pink-covered table holding books and flowers.

The seated person wears a rust-orange garment, a green-beaded mala, bangles and an orange tilak, and holds palms together in greeting. In the foreground a kneeling priest in orange-saffron robes with white painted arm markings offers a flaming aarti lamp toward the throne. Offerings and a brass plate lie at the bottom of the frame. The seated person's appearance, with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and orange robes, is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) in the throne-room setting, though the appearance is not fully certain.2013-05-11Jan 4 2022 sripuram2022-01-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a puja before a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, draped in a red-brown robe with rudraksha-style beaded adornments and wearing a red-brown headwrap, garlanded with white and multicoloured flower malas.
