A seated figure in a red-orange turban and an orange-and-gold wrap, wearing a yellow flower garland and a bare-shouldered look with a sandalwood mark, sits on a gold-carved throne against a red tent backdrop, extending a hand to receive an offering. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward, holding out a small orange fruit, while a young boy in a yellow outfit kneels beside him. Several women in saris, one in green and one in orange, stand in the background. This appears to be a darshan moment where devotees offer fruit to the seated figure; the seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, garland, orange wrap and throne cues.2015-10-25October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesSeptember 10 20152015-09-10 +1 copiesAugust 09 20152015-08-09A photograph of a ritual darshan inside a red-draped hall with gold ceremonial lamps.
