A man in a white dhoti with a red border and a shawl draped over his bare chest, wearing spectacles and a rudraksha mala, bows with folded hands while another man in saffron-orange robes, long swept-back hair and a multi-strand gold necklace seated on a golden throne places a hand on his forehead. The seated man wears an orange shawl and sits amid garlands of yellow, orange and purple flowers on a gold-carved throne with a cushion. Behind them stand an attendant in white and a woman in white with a green border; a gold staff rises at right and a small brass tray sits near the seated figure. Appearance-based cues on the seated man (swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace, throne) suggest Swamiji (probable) receiving devotee at a satsang setting.2010-10-18July 17 20082008-07-17June 13 20092009-06-13June 21 20092009-06-21 +1 copiesJuly 03 20122012-07-03July 17 20082008-07-17A seated man in an orange saffron robe and layered beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gold throne draped with yellow and purple marigold garlands, with a crown-like ornament on his head and long hair swept back.
