Photograph of a seated golden-throne scene in an ashram hall. A long-haired man in a flowing yellow silk garment and layered beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, smiling and holding a silver tray of flowers toward a kneeling woman in a white top with a red and green silk shawl. Behind her, a white-clad man with folded hands and a garland stands at left, and an attendant in orange-saffron robes with a gold chain holds the tray at right. Seated devotees and onlookers, some in white, sit behind a metal railing. The scene looks like a satsang or blessing, with a red cushion and a patterned mat on the floor. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, yellow robe and beaded malas on the throne.

A man in saffron robes, with a white and red flower garland, rudraksha mala and a red tilak, sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and is seated on a gold foot-stool. A devotee in a white dhoti and orange shawl kneels before him, touching his feet with offerings, as women in white saris with yellow shawls stand behind holding brass plates. Bowls of offerings and flowers lie on the floor and on a side shelf, and the throne is set against gold curtains. The man on the throne is a person by appearance cues: saffron robes, rudraksha mala and garland, with the page noting his presence.2009-09-07 +1 copiesAugust 02 20092009-08-02May 19 20132013-05-19November 10 20152015-11-10Photograph of a ceremonial satsang setting. A figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a small microphone, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a folded paper and a string of beads, a person, seated in a presiding role. In front, a man in white kurta with a brown rudraksha mala kneels with hands folded, receiving the offering. Behind, a priest in white dhoti with a red border and gold necklace stands, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl and a man in saffron stand near brass trays holding red flowers, fruit and offerings. A gold-framed plaque and a gilded wooden box sit nearby. Five to six people are visible.2010-09-17August 15 20102010-08-15July 31 20152015-07-31A man in a saffron-orange robe with maroon border and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet upholstery and a golden canopy hung with leaf-shaped pendants. A red bindi marks his forehead. He rests his hands clasped in his lap and gazes forward. Two brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside the throne, and orange and white flower arrangements decorate the sides. In front, three seated devotees in white clothing sit with their backs to the camera, facing him. Before the throne, a gilded offering tray holds pink lotus flowers and incense sticks. A large painted backdrop of a deity figure with stone pillars fills the background. Swamiji (probable): the man on the throne wears saffron robes, rudraksha mala and a long-haired appearance consistent with the page's identification.2011-02-02
