A man with long dark hair, wearing a white robe and a gold necklace, sits with palms pressed together on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands in red, white and purple. Two attendants flank the scene: a young man in orange robes kneels with hands folded beside silver lamps, and a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border holds a brass pot and mango-filled plate. Silver bowls, a kalasha-style vessel with flowers, and oil lamps sit on a red cloth in front. A water bottle stands behind the throne.2008-05-19A photograph of a ritual puja at an ornate temple-style stage. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold bracelet, sits cross-legged with hands folded on a large gold throne with red cushions. A probable Swamiji appearance cue is the long swept-back hair with orange-saffron robe and rudraksha mala. Six people in white and cream ritual dress sit on the floor before him: two men in white dhotis, a woman in a white sari, a woman in a cream sari, a boy in white, and a man in white with hands joined in prayer. One priest in a white dhoti holds a flower or offering. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, a vase of orange and yellow flowers sits on a low table, and a large painted backdrop of deity figures in red and pink surrounds the scene.2011-02-26December 28 20062006-12-28September 10 20102010-09-10February 24 20072007-02-24November 13 20102010-11-13 +1 copiesA figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, decorated with a garland of orange and white flowers, sits with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing a white robe and a gold necklace with beads.
