A bald man in a rust-orange cloth with a white bead necklace sits on an ornate gold throne-palanquin under a canopy hung with multicoloured tassels and a flower garland of yellow, red, white and blue blooms. He raises a lit oil lamp in his right hand while looking upward, with a silver vessel beside him. The covered hall has a corrugated metal roof and a black speaker cabinet stands in the foreground on the right. Golden carved panels frame the throne.

Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne in a temple-like hall, dressed in an orange-saffron robe with a red-and-gold crown-like headpiece, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and garlands of white jasmine and red and green flowers. He holds a silver lamp with a lit flame in one hand and a flower-wrapped staff in the other. A bare-chested attendant in white dhoti kneels at left, extending his hand toward the lamp. Behind the throne stands a golden deity murti draped in colourful flower garlands, with a gold umbrella canopy overhead, a brass oil lamp, and a red-and-white striped curtain at right. A patterned red carpet covers the floor. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a saffron robe, crown-like headpiece, beaded necklace and garlands, consistent with the page's reference to a ceremonial seating event.2012-04-30April 14 20132013-04-14 +1 copiesApril 17 20132013-04-17 +2 copiesApril 14 20132013-04-14 +1 copiesDusk outdoor scene at a temple-style open pavilion with a tin roof and palm trees behind. A shaved-headed man in an orange-red dhoti and a golden-yellow waist sash holds a flaming oil lamp aloft with one hand, and a small silver bell or vessel in the other. He wears a red rudraksha mala and a silver necklace. Beside him stands an ornate gilded wooden palanquin-like utsava vahana with tasselled red and green fringes and a carved gold base. Several saffron-robed attendants and onlookers stand in the background, and a man in white stands near a cloth-covered canopy. The scene matches a dhwajarohanam flag-hoisting procession.2013-12-18December 18 20132013-12-18April 30 20122012-04-30A man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved crown-like top and a gold canopy above. He wears a jeweled crown, white jasmine garlands and a long red-and-white flower garland, and holds a tall white flower-wrapped staff in his right hand while his left hand is raised in blessing. Behind the throne is a golden deity murti decorated with colourful flower garlands, and a brass oil lamp stands nearby. At lower left a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti holds a lit lamp toward the throne. The throne sits on a red carpet with patterned motifs. Only the seated figure and the attendant are physically present, so the scene contains two visible people.2012-04-30January 13 20152015-01-13A photograph of a gilded ceremonial palanquin or ratha-style procession vehicle under a striped metal roof. Its ornate gold carved frame and railings are visible, with a canopy of multicoloured gold-topped tassels in red, yellow, green, blue and pink. A long garland of marigolds in red, yellow, white and green hangs from the canopy. A partly visible orange umbrella stands at the top left. At the right edge, a hand holds a small brass lamp or vessel near a black speaker, and a child in a patterned shirt stands at the far right. The scene suggests a festival procession setup, with a deity or utsava murti not clearly visible.2013-12-18April 30 20122012-04-30May 08 20132013-05-08
