A seated man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti-style garment with a bare upper torso, wearing multiple rudraksha malas and ornate rudraksha bracelets, sits beside a golden lion sculpture under a white fringed parasol and a red-tipped staff. He places his right palm on the forehead of an older man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala, who stands with hands folded in namaskar. The seated figure, with long dark hair coiled on top and a crown-like headpiece, is described as Swamiji (probable) based on the rudraksha adornments, ceremonial gold necklaces and long swept-back hair in a ritual setting. A partially visible man stands at left and a camera is at left edge.2013-12-01A photograph of a seated figure with long dark hair wrapped in a high crown-like headpiece with a gold ornament, wearing a maroon-red saffron-toned robe, multiple rudraksha malas, rudraksha bracelets and an ornate gold necklace. The figure extends a hand to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala, who holds his palms together in namaskar. Behind them stands a golden lion statue and a gold-fringed lampshade. The figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues, consistent with the a person candidate, shown in an in-person blessing role.2013-12-01A photograph of a seated figure in a maroon-red robe with gold border, wearing a tall dreadlocked headpiece with a small white ornamental parasol, multiple rudraksha malas and bead bracelets, seated on a gold lion-form throne beside a golden lion statue. Facing him, a man in a white shirt and white trousers holds his palms raised toward the seated figure in a gesture of greeting or blessing, with a small wooden box of offerings on the red carpet. The room has wood-panelled walls and gold decorative elements. Appearance-based cues of a probable Swamiji (probable) are present: the seated figure wears dreadlocked hair, a crown-like headpiece, rudraksha malas and ceremonial ornaments, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the seated figure receiving the gesture.2013-12-01December 01 20132013-12-01A seated figure on a golden lion-headed throne wears a dark wrapped turban with a gold ornament, a long multi-strand bead necklace, a rudraksha bracelet on the upper arm, and a rust-red robe with a gold edge. A bald man in white clothes, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, stands with palms pressed together in namaskar facing him. Gold lion carvings, a gold-fringed parasol and wood-panelled walls form the setting. Swamiji (probable) appears in this scene, identified by the turban, saffron-toned robe and multiple rudraksha malas as the seated person being honoured.2013-12-01September 14 20142014-09-14December 01 20132013-12-01August 03 20142014-08-03A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red turban with a jewelled ornament and a vertical tilak on his forehead, smiling with eyes closed. He wears layered rudraksha-style brown beaded malas, a gold pendant, and an orange-and-yellow shawl over his shoulder, seated on an ornate gold throne with a red backdrop and warm lighting. Beside him, a man in a white kurta with an orange-bordered shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste, leaning toward him. The seated figure has distinctive long-style presentation cues including turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, matching the page's Swamiji reference as a probable identification by appearance.2015-10-25A seated figure in a red-orange turban with a gold ornament and a large rudraksha mala with a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, extending a hand and holding a stack of white cards. Beside him, an elderly man with grey hair and a beard, wearing an orange robe and shawl, bows forward with his hands near the throne's gold lion-head armrest. Behind them is a large banner portrait of a smiling woman in a red turban and gold-trimmed clothing. A second orange-robed man stands at the upper left, hands pressed together in greeting. The figure on the throne is an appearance-based candidate and the visible cues are a red turban with a gold crest, rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, so he is labelled a person in the sense of a probable candidate; the page does not confirm his presence.2014-03-26A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti mark on his forehead reaches out to bless a bald man in a white collared shirt, who is holding his palms together near his forehead. The seated figure, who has long hair tied back, holds a silver staff and rests beside golden lion-head armrests on a red throne-like seat. A white air conditioner and a standing fan are visible behind them, and a partly visible man in a white dhoti-style garment with tilak sits at the right edge. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in a throne with golden lion-head armrests, blessing a devotee; the rudraksha mala and saffron robes are the qualifying cues.2013-09-13 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20142014-01-03
