A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange wrap, with a pink and white flower garland and a leopard-print lower garment, sits on a red and gold ornate throne with hands in anjali mudra. Beside him a silver trident stands upright. Seated on the floor before him are four devotees in white clothes with orange shawls: a man with a moustache pressing palms together, a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala, a man with grey hair and a woman with brown hair, both with orange stoles and palms joined. A second gold and red throne stands empty on the right, beside a framed painting on a wood-panelled wall with a painted banner behind the figure. Appearance-based candidate is probable; caption-free photo.

May 08 20142014-05-08A padapuja scene in a wood-panelled hall. A figure seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne holds a silver trident aloft, wearing a pink and white flower garland, saffron-orange robes, gold armbands and a white tilak on the forehead; the appearance is consistent with a person as the seated central figure. Before him, a row of devotees in white clothes with saffron shawls sits on the blue floor, several with hands folded or offering flowers from a tray of red petals. Two men in saffron shawls sit in the foreground with their backs to the camera.2014-05-12November 12 20152015-11-12 +1 copiesA photograph of a padapuja ceremony. A central figure sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a pink flower garland, saffron-orange draped cloth, gold bangles and a white tilak on the forehead. The figure raises a silver trident (trishul) with one hand while a bare foot rests on a tray of red petals. Kneeling devotees in white and orange shawls face the throne, and a few hold offerings. Behind them are a brown leather chair, a framed picture on a wood-panelled wall and a blue mat. Swamiji (probable): the throned figure's long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha-style adornments and gold jewellery fit the description, and the page identifies Swamiji at this event; treated as a probable depiction in person in a padapuja setting.2014-05-12May 09 20142014-05-09August 05 20142014-08-05Photo of a seated figure on a brown leather throne-style chair, wearing an orange-red turban with a white Om-like emblem, a saffron-orange shawl over an ornate gold-trimmed garment, multiple gold and bead necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi. A gold trident with red and green gems stands beside the chair. He smiles, holding a small steel cup, with a headset microphone visible near his face. Around him, seated devotees in white and orange-red garments, some with orange shawls, face forward in a hall with patterned gold wallpaper. Swamiji (probable) based on the orange turban, ornate saffron attire, gold necklaces and trident in a seated discourse setting.2015-07-12 +2 copiesAugust 14 20172017-08-14July 12 20152015-07-12A photograph of an outdoor ritual at a large black stone basin. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy is dressed in a red-maroon turban, rust-red robe, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, with a white and pink flower garland draped over him; he holds his palms together in namaskar. A tall trident stands to his left. Around the throne, six women sit on a striped cloth, most in orange-red or white garments with red or orange shawls, holding brass plates of flowers and offerings, and several with hands folded in prayer. The scene suggests a puja-style gathering.2017-07-03May 12 20142014-05-12July 07 20092009-07-07
