Outdoor evening ritual photograph. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears a red turban, red-orange robes with a gold-striped sash, a heavy rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, with gold armbands and bangles. The seated figure is probable Swamiji (appearance cues: red turban, layered beaded necklaces, ornate ceremonial clothing). He holds small objects while a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti and an attendant in white dhoti stand at left, one offering items in a cupped palm. A yellow and white flower garland rests on his lap, and a small fire glows at the lower right near the throne.

November 24 20152015-11-24A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and a large carved back. The seated person wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange robe with yellow borders, layered beaded rudraksha-style malas and a gold pendant, and gold armlets and bangles, and holds a small flower-tipped staff with yellow and white blossoms. Two bare-chested men in white dhotis with gold borders stand bending forward, one placing his hands on the seated person's arm in an act of reverence, while a woman in red clothing is partly visible at the right edge. Metal scaffolding and a plain backdrop frame the event setting. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified from his turban, saffron-red robes, layered malas and gold ornaments on the throne; the attendants are devotees in ritual white dhotis.2015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24Evening outdoor ritual photograph. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne wears an orange-red turban, layered rudraksha malas, a gold pendant and bangles over orange-red robes, and extends a hand toward a fire pit with a flame and offerings. Before him stands a bare-chested devotee with white sacred ash markings and a rudraksha mala, wearing a white dhoti, whose hands are offered toward the seated figure. Another shirtless attendant in white dhoti stands at left, and a further attendant appears behind. Metal stands and red-and-white barriers are visible. Appearance cues are consistent with a person presence on the throne, though identity is uncertain from the image alone; this is a homa or yagna style fire ritual with a devotee receiving blessing.2015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24November 24 20152015-11-24
