Devotees approach a gilded throne backed by an ornate golden carved panel with cross-shaped cutouts. A seated figure in a maroon-red robe sits on the throne, garlanded with orange and white flowers. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti with gold border stands with one hand resting on the back of a man in a grey shirt and orange-saffron dhoti. Women in saris, including a pink-blouse woman in brown and white sari and a woman in blue-green sari, stand nearby with hands raised in reverence. Brass lamps and a small offering table with fruit sit at the left edge.

November 01 20152015-11-01A photograph of a stage event with devotees in saffron and orange-brown robes with gold borders gathered on a red-carpeted platform. A central figure seated on a gold-and-orange throne with a floral garland backdrop wears an orange robe, long hair, a white forehead band and a gold-beaded mala; the figure matches the candidate cues of long hair and ornate saffron clothing, so this is Swamiji (probable). Nearby, a man in a white shirt and light trousers and several women in saffron saris with gold borders, some with rudraksha malas, stand near the throne. Several other attendees in white and blue saris stand at right.2013-03-10May 03 20162016-05-03A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, bare feet resting on a footstool, on a raised stage with a red-and-orange backdrop and a garland of red, yellow and green flowers above.
