A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver-and-gold chair with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-orange robe with a gold border and multiple garlands of white flowers and red rose beads, with a rudraksha mala draped at the neck. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has swept-back hair, saffron-orange ceremonial clothing and layered rudraksha malas, presiding as the central figure. Before him, a man in a cream shirt holds a small red object over a silver plate while a devotee in white kurta with folded hands sits in front, another devotee sits lower in the foreground, and a woman in a white sari stands in the background with a tilak mark. A silver bowl and a small brass pot sit on the floor, a wooden podium with a microphone stands at left, and a black stage backdrop frames the scene with a fan and a ladder behind.

Three men in white ritual clothes sit before him: one at left with a lit multi-wick aarti lamp, one at right holding a small vessel, and a figure at lower left holding the lamp; they appear to be performing a puja. Silver bowls with flowers and offerings sit at his feet on a patterned rug, with marigold garlands below. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, distinctive gold and rudraksha adornments, so he is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the role of the honoured teacher receiving worship.2014-04-28April 28 20142014-04-28A photograph inside a dark-walled shrine room shows a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a white and red flower garland, a gold necklace and a gold armband, his feet resting on a golden footstool. Before him a gold tray holds silver plates of flowers, petals and lit oil lamps. Around the tray, devotees in white and red shawls and sandalwood tilak sit with palms joined in prayer; an elderly man in white with a red shawl presses his hands together, a woman in yellow holds a plate, and brass bells and lamps hang above. A wall air conditioner is visible. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, with flower garland, saffron robe and gold adornment on a throne, in the role of a seated teacher receiving pada puja offerings.2013-05-27April 28 20142014-04-28April 28 20142014-04-28April 28 20142014-04-28April 28 20142014-04-28
