April 20 20182018-04-20A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe on an ornate silver and red velvet throne, with a crescent ornament on the back of the chair. He wears a dark turban with a gold brooch, a central red tilak, a long pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles. His bare feet rest on a red cushion on a silver footstool. A fire pit with bright flames and yellow bricks lies in the foreground, with fruit, flowers and offerings arranged beside it. A striped mat and carved wooden screens form the background. Appearance-based cues with ornate dress, turban and gold ornaments suggest a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in ritual honour during a homa.2018-04-20 +1 copiesMay 26 20172017-05-26A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a crescent-moon finial, wearing a dark turban-style headwrap with a gold ornament, a red-maroon robe, gold armbands and necklaces, and a long layered white and pink flower garland with red roses. Another man in a red-maroon cloth lies prostrate face-down on the floor before the throne, his forehead near the throne's footrest, with white ash markings on his arm and a rudraksha bracelet. Behind the throne are carved wooden screens, and a colourful striped mat, flower offerings and a brass vessel are on the floor. The seated figure raises one hand in a gesture while looking to the side, appearing to be the recipient of prostration in a darshan-type setting; an appearance-based candidate for a person based on the saffron-red ceremonial clothing, garland and ornate throne cues.2018-04-20September 21 20172017-09-21May 26 20172017-05-26May 26 20172017-05-26March 16 20172017-03-16May 26 20172017-05-26September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesApril 20 20182018-04-20September 21 20172017-09-21 +1 copies
