A smiling man seated on a gold-backed throne is almost entirely covered in flower garlands of yellow, red, white and purple blooms, with a pink rose-petal heap in his lap and across the seat. He wears a white, red and multicoloured flower crown with a green peacock feather and a red flower at its centre, plus a tan shawl and a gold necklace. Two hands from the side pour or sprinkle flower petals and a hand holds an orange cloth at his head. A small orange-robed portrait appears on the crown.

He wears layered red and white garlands, a rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and a maroon-brown dhoti-style cloth. A young man in white shirt and dhoti bends forward to offer flowers, and an attendant in orange robes stands at right holding a flower garland. Gold and brass ritual vessels, hanging brass bells and floral strands decorate the background. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving the bhiksha offering, with his long hair and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments distinguishing him as the central honoured figure.2013-07-22A photograph of a person seated before an elaborate floral backdrop of yellow, orange, purple and white marigold garlands arranged in a large arch, topped by a golden ornamental crown-shaped frame. The seated person wears a red shawl over a white garment, a white and red decorated headpiece, a long mala of green beads and layered gold-coloured necklaces, and a gold bangle, and smiles while raising one hand in greeting. Two men in white stand at the right, one with palms pressed together in namaste, and a ceremonial yak-hair chamara fan appears at the upper right. The setting resembles a decorated temple or ashram hall with grey ceiling tiles. The visible person's features and clothing do not clearly match the appearance cues needed to identify a person, and no name tag is visible on them, so their identity is uncertain.2013-01-06A seated figure on a golden throne is buried under heaps of pink rose petals and white jasmine flowers, with a smiling face visible at the centre. The person wears a pink turban with gold trim, a red bindi, and dangling earrings. Behind the throne stand long garlands of red, orange, white and pink flowers, and a bright gold carved backrest. A hand from the right holds a woven basket, scattering petals, while yellow marigolds lie in the foreground. The scene appears to be a flower-shower honouring at a public gathering.2012-07-03A smiling person seated on an ornate golden throne in front of a large arrangement of yellow, purple, red and white marigold and chrysanthemum flowers. The person wears a pink turban with a green and gold ornament, a red bindi, a white and gold shawl over saffron-orange clothing, and a heavy gold necklace with red and green garlands. They hold bunches of pink and orange flowers wrapped in plastic, and the floor before the throne is covered with mixed purple and pink petals. A woven basket is visible at the left edge. The setting suggests a flower-decorated ceremonial reception or satsang.2013-01-06 +1 copiesJanuary 06 20132013-01-06 +1 copiesA photograph of a decorated deity murti of a goddess standing in a gold ornate arched frame, draped in red and white jasmine and rose garlands with yellow marigold accents.
