A photo of a ceremonial scene inside a decorated pavilion. A standing priest in a rust-orange turban and orange-brown dhoti with a gold border holds a lit flame in a silver vessel toward a seated figure. The seated figure sits on an ornate golden throne draped with a red-and-white floral garland arrangement and red cushions, wearing a red mala and gold necklace, with an umbrella, silver trident-topped staffs and a golden lion-shaped armrest nearby. The setting suggests an arati-style offering on a throne; a silver tray and marigold petals lie on the floor.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-headed armrests, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange turban and wearing a long white and multicolour flower garland and a gold necklace. A man in an orange shirt kneels at the throne's base, placing flowers and red blossoms on a brass plate, while a brass bell and hanging lamps are visible above and a video camera on a tripod stands at left. Another person's grey-haired head appears at the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long, swept-back hair under a saffron turban, saffron robes, rudraksha-style garlands and gold ornaments, seated in ceremonial worship.2014-06-12January 01 20132013-01-01 +1 copiesSeptember 16 20132013-09-16June 06 20162016-06-06A seated man in saffron-orange clothing sits on an ornate golden throne with a red tiger-striped cushion, eyes closed and smiling slightly. He wears an orange turban with a red bindi on the forehead, a small microphone headset, a rudraksha mala with gold bead ornaments, a gold-trimmed orange dhoti and shawl, and gold armlets and bracelets. His hands are clasped in his lap. The golden throne backdrop has elaborate repoussé floral and leaf carvings.2013-07-31A man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with carved lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand. He wears a rust-red wrap with gold-bordered edges, a brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, and a white vibhuti marking with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He gestures with one hand while the other rests on his lap, and a red curtain forms the backdrop. A wooden box sits on the side with a brass staff nearby. The scene appears to be a satsang discourse. A probable candidate with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold-and-throne setting is seated and speaking.2016-06-15A ceremonial scene in a hall with gold-finished ornamental decor. A seated figure on a gold-framed throne with maroon velvet cushions wears a long maroon-and-gold garland, a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, gold bangles and a maroon shawl draped over the shoulders, with a yellow marigold and red flower backdrop behind him. Beside him a standing priest in an orange-red turban and a gold-bordered orange-brown cloth, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala, holds a lit oil lamp toward a small dish. A golden lion figure, a gold trident-topped staff and a fringed umbrella stand nearby, with a gold ceremonial canopy and wall decorations behind. The scene resembles a homa or puja setting with a lit lamp offering; the seated figure's identity is not established by visible cues alone.2015-07-06June 15 20162016-06-15 +1 copiesApril 22 20162016-04-22A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and matching turban sits with eyes closed in front of a silver-framed throne with ornate repoussé carving, a microphone stand at his side. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti, with a golden crown and jewelled ornaments, flanked by two smaller gilded figures, all surrounded by yellow and red marigold garlands and fruit. To the left is a large gold-covered bull (nandi) figure, and the setting is draped in deep red curtains. A man in saffron clothing with a rudraksha mala and a gold chain fits the appearance-based a person cues, so this is a probable match and the presenter is labelled a person.2017-11-28November 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesApril 13 20142014-04-13
