A seated bare-chested man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-draped platform in a gilded temple-style setting. He wears a rudraksha mala and a large ceremonial gold pendant, with vertical white tilak marks on his forehead, and his hands rest on the armrests of a golden throne. Behind him stand two richly adorned deity murti figures with crowns and jewelled necklaces, in front of an ornate golden arch. A tall silver-and-red trident stands to his left, brass oil lamps flank the platform, and a brass kalasha-like vessel sits in the foreground on a colourful woven rug. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold adornments.

April 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA seated man in copper-orange robes sits on a golden ceremonial dais in front of an ornate golden shrine, with a tiger-striped cloth draped over his lap. He wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace, bangles, a red tilak on his forehead and a crown-like headdress. Beside him rests a gilded lion figure and a tall pink-and-white staff, with brass oil lamps flanking the stage. Behind him sit two gold-clad deity figures under a golden arch with cobra-hood motifs. A person with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads fits the presentation cues, but the face is not clearly enough visible to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.2017-04-30 +2 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a tiger-skin cushion before an ornate golden throne arch studded with jewels and a cobra-hood style canopy.

He wears saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a gold chest pendant, layered beaded necklaces, a gold bracelet, and a tilak on the forehead, with long dark hair. He rests one hand on a lion-headed armrest near a tiger-skin cloth and a brass trident.
