A seated figure in a rust-brown robe and gold multi-strand necklace receives oranges from two attendants on a red-carpeted stage, before a heart-shaped ornate throne backed by yellow and red marigold garlands. A young man in orange dhoti and rudraksha mala stands at left holding an orange, and a woman in orange sari with rudraksha mala stands at right passing an orange. A white-clad devotee with long dreadlocks and gold-bordered dhoti kneels at the foot of the throne, bowing with hands on the platform. Flower petals scatter the floor. The seated figure has long dreadlocked hair, a red forehead mark and a leopard-print cushion beneath him; the appearance is consistent with the page's a person reference but uncertain.

He wears a rust-brown dhoti-style cloth draped over one shoulder, a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant, a red forehead mark, and a dark turban-like hairstyle; he is smiling with his hands extended. Two young women in orange saris with rudraksha malas stand beside him, one holding an orange fruit, and a man in orange with rudraksha beads on the left touches his arm. A woman in a yellow floral sari kneels on the red carpet offering a fruit, and another young woman in orange crouches at the right beside a figure in blue. Flower petals lie on the red carpet. Appearance-based cues on the seated central figure (long swept-back dark hair under a turban, gold ornate necklaces and saffron-toned clothing) are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, presented as the honoured figure of a ceremony.2018-04-14 +1 copiesPhoto of a ceremonial scene before a backdrop of yellow and red marigold garlands and a dark blue ornate textile with gold and white embroidery. A man seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne wears a dark turban, a rust-brown wrap, a gold ceremonial necklace and a tilak; he holds oranges in both hands while his eyes are closed. Around him, a man in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands near the throne, a bare-chested attendant in white and yellow kneels offering a fruit, a woman in a pink-and-yellow sari kneels in the foreground, and another attendant in a white dhoti with a blue-and-gold sari stands at left with hands folded. Six physical people are visible.2018-04-14A seated man in an orange-brown robe, gold multi-strand necklaces and a gold waist ornament, with a dark turban and a red tilak on his forehead, sits on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion. Behind him is a large mosaic-decorated arch covered in yellow and red flower garlands. A devotee in a red shirt and beige trousers kneels before him, offering a fruit, while a man in an orange cloth and beaded necklace and another attendant in a leopard-print headpiece and white dhoti stand nearby. Flower petals are scattered on the red carpet. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, gold ornaments and orange robe.2018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesApril 14 20182018-04-14April 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copies
