October 15 20102010-10-15A photo of a ceremony on a stage with an orange backdrop featuring a large painted deity face and Kannada-script banner text. A figure in a green draped garment with an orange and pink turban sits on a gold-ornate throne decorated with yellow, white and purple garlands, smiling as he receives a white book from a man in a maroon kurta and glasses. A bespectacled older man in cream clothes stands at right beside the throne, and a partly visible orange-clad person is behind the exchange. The throne-seated figure has distinctive turban and ornate ceremonial presentation cues, but appearance alone is not conclusive, so identity is unsure. Umbrella canopy above the throne.2010-10-13A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a pink, blue and white striped turban with a red bindi, a blue silk dhoti and shawl edged with gold border, and a long gold bead necklace. His hands are folded in his lap and his bare feet rest on a red footstool. Behind him an orange backdrop displays partial Kannada script and a large image of a deity form at the right edge. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, gold necklace and blue silk garments, seated in a position of honour in a satsang setting.2010-10-09 +1 copiesOctober 15 20102010-10-15October 09 20102010-10-09October 09 20102010-10-09 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial stage event.
