Outdoor evening photo of a pada puja at an ashram event. A figure in an ornate red-and-crimson turban and red garland sits enthroned on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands joined in greeting, a pink flower in one hand; this figure is a person by the turban, red attire, and garlands. A white-haired priest in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl bends forward offering a tray of fruit and flowers at the throne's feet on a striped rug. Standing at left, a bare-chested man in white dhoti watches, and a woman in orange-and-gold sari with a beaded necklace stands with palms pressed together. A large screen behind shows a crowd, and a world-map banner hangs overhead.

Inside a decorated pavilion, a figure seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red-orange cushioned seat wears a crimson turban, a red-orange robe and a white floral garland with pink flowers in hand; this is the Swamiji (probable) based on the turban, saffron-orange robe and garland cues, seated as recipient of honour. Before the throne, a white-clad priest with a gold-bordered dhoti bends forward holding a brass tray of fruits and flowers. A woman in an orange sari with a red border stands with palms pressed together. Another white-clad man stands at left with his back to the camera. A large screen behind shows women in pink and red saris. Floral petals lie on a striped rug.2016-12-12December 12 20162016-12-12 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) under a gold canopy, garlanded with multicoloured flower garlands. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe, an orange turban, and a rudraksha mala, and makes a raised blessing gesture. Around the throne, several people in white dhotis and white saris stand or kneel; one kneeling man in white attends the throne base, and a woman in a red-bordered sari kneels at the front. Gold ceremonial fans and staffs stand on either side, with a temple-arch backdrop and a red carpet beneath. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe and rudraksha mala are the distinguishing cues on the seated central figure, shown in a throne-and-darshan setting.2010-11-05December 22 20162016-12-22 +1 copiesNovember 05 20102010-11-05A ceremonial padapuja scene in front of an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra-hood backrest and a red cushion. A bearded man in saffron/orange robes with a gold necklace, long hair, and armbands sits on the throne, holding a red fruit and reaching toward a white-haired man in a white dhoti who kneels and bows with his head touching the throne's foot area. Behind them, a shirtless man with a rudraksha mala and a man in white ritual cloth attend; a standing man in a white and yellow-bordered dhoti and another in a white shirt observe. A red curtain, golden pillar carvings, and a large painted deity image of a seated figure fill the background, and a woman in purple sits at the right edge. Swamiji is probable in the seated throne figure, whose saffron robes, gold necklace, and long hair match his presentation; the kneeling devotee is a devotee.2016-11-07A seated figure on an ornate gold throne under a gold canopy is dressed in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban and a rudraksha mala, with a large floral garland of yellow, red and blue flowers across the throne back.
