A seated man on an ornate gold throne (peetha) at a stage with a dark backdrop, garlanded with yellow and red flowers. He wears a tall gold crown, a blue-white vertical tilak on his forehead, gold earrings, a thick rudraksha mala, layered gold necklaces and bangles, and an orange-brown dhoti, and his bare chest is visible; he smiles and raises one hand in blessing. Gilded statues of two female deities flank the throne, one holding a lotus and the other playing a veena. Ornate golden ceremonial fans with crescent designs stand on each side. The visible ornaments and throne match the appearance cues for a person, seated in a blessing pose during the Arunachaleshwara Makutabhishekam celebration.

February 18 20222022-02-18A seated man in ornate gold regalia sits cross-legged on a golden throne with a tall golden crown-like headpiece, smiling, with blue vertical markings on the forehead and a black bindi. He wears a broad gold collar, layered gold and rudraksha necklaces, gold armbands, bangles and rings, and a rust-orange dhoti with gold trim. Flanking him are two gilded deity figures holding ceremonial items, one on each side, with a gold fan-shaped ceremonial umbrella behind. Garlands of yellow and red flowers with fairy lights hang above and along the dark backdrop. The appearance matches the Swamiji candidate with long hair, gold and rudraksha adornment, and a crown, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) seated in the role of a throned spiritual teacher.2022-02-18A photograph of a bearded man seated before an ornate gilded throne with carved golden deity figures on both sides. He wears a jewelled crown with a crescent moon and a cobra motif, a white forehead band, and a rust-brown beaded rudraksha-style vest over bare shoulders, with gold coin and bead necklaces and bracelets. He raises one hand in a mudra-like gesture, with a relaxed smile. The deity figure on the right holds a trident, and the figure on the left is in a dancing pose. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair, ornate crown and rudraksha vest with gold necklaces fit the page's claim of his presence; the image is a single seated figure on a throne.2023-08-19Sep 23 20252025-09-23November 07 20222022-11-07November 07 20222022-11-07June 1 20252025-06-01 +1 copiesNovember 06 20222022-11-06September 09 20232023-09-09Sep 23 20252025-09-23September 12 20232023-09-12October 31 20222022-10-31
