A seated figure with long dark dreadlocks wears a rust-brown robe, a rudraksha mala with a large ornate gold pendant necklace, and a bare shoulder, sitting on a gilded throne with golden lion-head armrests and a brown cushioned seat. Beside him, a gold-finialed staff stands upright. Around the throne, standing devotees in white shirts, a yellow shirt and a red-orange saffron garment, one holding a small green cloth or paper, watch and receive him. A woman in orange robes stands at the right edge. The dim event hall has a purple banner and green drapery in the background. Faint printed site text is visible at the lower right.

May 16 20162016-05-16 +1 copiesA seated man in a gilded brown leather throne with lion-head armrests wears a long dark swept-back hair style, a rudraksha mala with multiple strands, a gold pendant, and a red-orange cloth wrapped around his lower body and shoulder. He leans forward, extending his hand over a brass bowl to a devotee kneeling in front of him. Around him stand people in white dhotis with gold borders, orange lanyards, and saffron-orange garments, while a woman in a red-and-patterned shawl kneels nearby. A man in a grey t-shirt and khaki shorts stands at the right edge, and a large screen with a deity image glows in the background. The scene appears to be a devotional gathering with seated guidance and ritual interaction.2015-12-18May 14 20132013-05-14December 19 20152015-12-19A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests and red velvet upholstery. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and wrap, a long rudraksha mala with large beads, and a white tilak on his forehead, and sits with eyes closed. Facing him, a man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, bowing in devotion. A silver trident hangs on the wall behind, with a wooden lattice panel and red-orange pillars. Appearance-based probable candidate: the seated figure on the throne has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, so this is Swamiji (probable) receiving devotion.2014-09-06A photograph of a satsang session in a hall with deep red velvet curtains and an ornate gold-leaf throne.
