A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe and a tiger-striped cloth wears a long yellow marigold garland and gold necklace, with a red-and-white forehead mark, smiling as he looks down. Behind him is an ornate silver throne covered with jewelled green, red and blue inlays. A second man in a rust-red dhoti, bare-chested, stands at right holding a brass tray of dried red chillies toward him. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has shoulder-length swept-back hair, a yellow garland, gold chain and striped cloth on a throne, matching the page's Swamiji reference.

September 21 20172017-09-21A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a tiger-striped cloth behind him sits before an ornate silver throne decorated with gems and peacock motifs. He wears a sandalwood-and-kumkum forehead mark, a yellow marigold garland, gold beaded necklaces and gold earrings, and smiles while looking down at a brass tray of dried red chillies held by an attendant in red from the right edge. A round silver ceremonial object with red and green stones sits at lower left. Behind the throne, string hangs with small decorations. The scene suggests a Navaratri puja setting, with the man receiving offerings. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair, a saffron-red robe, gold necklaces and a yellow garland, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. The attendant in red stands at the right edge, partly visible.2017-09-21 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate silver-and-jewelled throne with red, green and blue gem inlay, wearing a maroon-red upper garment, a tiger-striped cloth over his lap, a gold chain, a gold necklace and layered yellow marigold garlands. He has a vertical tilak on his forehead, long swept-back hair and a beard, and he smiles while holding a brass tray of dried red chillies. The throne's silver filigree panels, a silver elephant motif at lower left and a hanging string of tassels are visible behind him. The man resembles a person by his distinctive ceremonial adornments, garlands and the silver throne, but the image does not confirm that identity. Only the seated man and a partly visible hand holding the tray are physically present.2017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21September 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 21 20172017-09-21Photo of a seated man with a long swept-back hair, white vertical tilak and a red-brown ochre robe, wearing a gold necklace, layered garlands of pink and white flowers, gold armbands and bangles. He is smiling on an ornate silver throne encrusted with coloured jewels and peacock designs, with a gold-and-striped tiger-print cushion. A second man in a red-brown wrap and bare torso, with curly hair, kneels or leans in and pours flower petals from a metal plate, which he holds. Behind them are a silver elephant-shaped seat and greenery. Visible cues: long swept hair, ochre clothing, gold ornaments and garlands suggest the a person seated in person, with the attendant offering flowers.2017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesA smiling bearded man with long swept-back dark hair, a white and ash marking on his forehead with a red bindi, and a red-brown robe with ornate gold necklaces and bracelets sits before an elaborately jewelled silver throne decorated with green, red and purple stones. Pink and white flower garlands hang around his neck. He reaches toward a tray of offerings held by a second person in a red shawl seen from behind, who wears a gold bangle. A jewelled silver deity murti draped in red cloth appears at lower left. The scene reads as a ceremonial initiation, with the seated figure a probable Swamiji by his distinctive long hair, adornments and throne.2017-09-28 +1 copies
