Photograph of a stage event with a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, draped in a flower garland canopy of white jasmine with orange and yellow marigolds. He wears a cream turban, a red kurta with gold collar, and a vermilion mark on his forehead. Before him a man in white dhoti and shirt kneels with palms pressed together, his hand resting on the seated man's knee, while the seated figure's hand touches his head. To the left a man in orange robes and a gold-and-orange garland sits with hands folded in namaste. To the right a woman in a white saree with gold border and orange shawl, with a vibhuti mark, sits with hands folded. The white-draped platform is decorated with marigold and jasmine garlands. The scene resembles a padapuja or blessing ceremony.2008-01-07Photograph of a stage event: a man in a red and gold silk kurta with white dhoti and a cream turban sits on a gold ornate throne with a red cushioned back, decorated with marigold and jasmine garlands and a flower canopy above. Before the throne, a man in white kneels on a white-draped platform, reaching toward the seated figure. To the left, a man in saffron robes and a gold necklace sits, and to the right, a man in white with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala holds beads. Dark drapes form the backdrop. Blurred figures in the foreground watch the scene.2008-01-07A seated man on a gilded, ornate throne with a red heart-shaped back cushion, decorated with garlands of marigolds, roses and white jasmine, with a flower canopy above. He wears a cream turban, a red-maroon sherwani-style garment with gold trim, a multicolour rose and marigold garland, and a cream dhoti. A kneeling devotee in white dhoti and an orange shawl presses palms together in namaskar before him, while a standing attendant in white with an orange shawl smiles at the side. A man in white stands at the left edge; a white cloth covers the platform with scattered rose petals. The throne and devotee suggest a seated honouring ceremony; the seated man's appearance does not meet the threshold for a person identification.2008-01-07A photograph on a stage draped with black curtains. A seated man in a deep red silk kurta with gold trim, a cream turban with a red bindi, and cream dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, decorated with yellow, orange and white marigold and jasmine garlands. A white-haired elderly man in white kurta and dhoti kneels before him, bowing with his head touched by the seated man's hands, with a palm resting on the top of his head. Beside them, a man in an orange shawl wearing a gold necklace sits on the stage floor. A white cloth covers the platform, and a floor fan stands at the left edge.2008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne is garlanded with multicoloured flower necklaces of pink, orange, yellow and white blooms. He wears a cream turban with a red mark on his forehead and a maroon silk kurta with gold trim, and he has long, swept-back hair. A kneeling devotee in a white kurta and dhoti faces him with raised hands, touching his knee. The throne is framed by yellow and orange marigold garlands, and rose petals are scattered on the white stage. To the left, a seated man in an orange robe with a gold necklace watches. A dark curtain forms the backdrop. Visible Swamiji cues include the long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace and garlanded throne; the page identifies him, so he is a probable match.2008-01-07A photograph on a white-draped stage in front of a black backdrop. A man in a white jacket and cream dhoti kneels at right, holding his palm raised toward the head of a seated man. The seated man wears a cream turban with a red bindi, a dark red kurta with gold embroidered trim and a gold-bordered stole, and cream dhoti, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne garlanded with yellow, orange, and white flowers. A third man in an saffron-orange shawl with a gold chain and rudraksha mala stands at left, smiling. Gold throne carving and a seated figure with long hair, a crown or turban and distinctive ceremonial clothing make this an appearance-based probable match for Swamiji.2008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a floral arch of yellow, orange, pink and white flowers behind him, wearing a cream turban with a red bindi, a deep red silk kurta with gold trim, and a long rose garland. He smiles and rests a hand on a gold vessel beside him. In front of him, a person with long dark hair in a white robe with an orange shawl kneels with hands together on a white cloth scattered with petals. A second seated man in orange robes and a gold chain sits at the left edge. The scene is a stage ceremony with flower garlands and a throne. The seated man in the turban has an appearance-based label of Swamiji (probable) based on his turban, red silk robes, ornate throne and garlands.2008-01-07A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a flower-decorated canopy, wearing a cream turban, a red-maroon kurta-style jacket and cream striped dhoti, with a large multicolour rose and marigold garland. A man in white kurta kneels on the white-draped stage and touches the seated man's foot. Two women in white saris with gold borders and orange shawls stand at right, one holding a long rudraksha mala. Rose petals lie on the stage. A ceiling fan appears at left and a dark curtain forms the backdrop. The seated figure has long hair and a red bindi and is smiling, and the scene matches a person by his turban, long hair and ceremonial garlands while seated on a throne being honoured.2008-01-07January 07 20082008-01-07
