A seated man with closed eyes sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-gold throne with a carved arched back and lion-shaped armrests, cushioned with leopard-print pillows. He wears a rust-red robe over bare shoulders, a white tilak on his forehead, and a red wristband, hands clasped in his lap in meditation. A silver trident and a silver kalasha-like staff stand beside the throne, and a large screen behind shows a dark figure. Swamiji (probable): the robe, long hair and ceremonial throne match the page's description of a seated initiation session, though the appearance is only partly confirmed.

May 17 20182018-05-17 +1 copiesA man with long swept-back dark hair and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests and a large repoussé golden backrest. He wears a rust-red saffron cloth draped over his bare upper body and a dense brown rudraksha mala with a gold chain around his neck. A leopard-print cloth hangs over the throne and a tall ceremonial staff stands at the left. Blue and purple stage lighting falls on the scene. Cues of long hair, rudraksha mala, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's Swamiji reference, so he is described as a probable candidate seated on a throne.2017-12-19A seated man with long dark hair and a full beard, wearing a saffron-orange robe draped over his shoulders, sits with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap on an ornate golden throne carved with floral scrollwork and lion-like guardian figures with leopard-print cushions. A tall golden trident stands to the left beside a small brass vessel, and a large painted backdrop of a deity holding a trident and wearing rudraksha beads fills the right side against a blue sky with clouds. Because the page identifies this event as involving Swamiji and the figure shows distinctive saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads, this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in darshan on the throne.2018-05-04A seated man in an ornate silver and gold throne with gilded lion arms, wearing a red-orange sannyasi wrap draped over a bare upper body, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, a gold chain, and a red tilak on his forehead. His long dark hair falls down his back and he sits in a meditative pose with bare feet on a leopard-print cushion. A tall silver staff stands at left beside the throne, and the backdrop is a dark stage with purple lighting. This appears to be an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-orange robes on a peetha-style throne.2017-12-17 +1 copiesMarch 25 20182018-03-25May 12 20182018-05-12December 17 20172017-12-17 +1 copiesA seated man in orange-red robes sits in lotus-style pose on a leopard-print cushion on an ornate golden throne flanked by two gilded lion sculptures.
