A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra-hood backrest, in front of a large painted deity murti with multiple arms holding ritual objects and a garland-draped backdrop. The seated man wears a rust-red robe, heavy gold necklaces, a pink and white flower garland, and a gold armband; he sits cross-legged with his face lifted. Two people in white clothes with rust-orange shawls stand beside the throne, one bending toward him with hands near his shoulder, and a woman in a rust-red sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. Several people appear, all standing or bending near the stage. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and saffron-red robes, placed on a throne with a deity backdrop.

A seated bearded man with long dark hair wears a pink and white flower garland, rudraksha-style beads, a gold necklace and an orange-brown dhoti, seated on an ornate golden throne with a cobra-hood canopy. Around him, several attendants in orange-brown saffron-toned garments and white clothing stand with folded hands, one holding a sheet of paper and another a gold ritual lamp stand. A gold trident leans against the left side of the stage. The scene suggests a ceremonial gathering. Three people are shown in the frame, with others partly visible at the edges.2016-10-10A photograph of a ceremonial scene in a temple-style hall. A seated man in orange-saffron robes, with long dark hair, a red bindi, a gold pendant and beaded necklaces, sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy and red cushions, holding a red fruit. Before him, a bare-chested man with a sacred thread and white dhoti stands bending toward the throne, while another man in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered cloth and a bare-chested attendant with ash markings stand nearby. A woman in a purple sari sits at the right edge.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy wears saffron-orange robes, a beaded necklace and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair and a beard; he is smiling and appears to be blessing or greeting a devotee. A bald man in a white shirt and grey shorts kneels barefoot before the throne with his head bowed close to the seated figure. To the left, two men in white dhotis with gold borders stand, one with a rudraksha mala and another holding a mobile phone in hand, and a shirtless man in an orange cloth kneels at the throne's foot near flowers and an offering. Red velvet cushions and white flowers surround the throne base. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, based on his saffron robes, long hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold throne.2016-11-11A seated bearded man in a red-orange turban and red-and-white flower garlands sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra hood carved above, before a large painted backdrop of a multi-armed deity and gold pillars with a trident. Devotees kneel and stand before him: a white-haired woman in a maroon sari offers fruit, a dreadlocked sadhu in an orange-brown robe holds a red apple, and a woman in a maroon-and-teal sari kneels at the right. A man in white dhoti with gold borders and a rudraksha mala stands at left, another kneels in white with gold borders. A puja offering tray with fruit sits at lower left.2016-11-20A seated figure in a maroon-red turban and maroon-red robe sits with eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood backrest, on a leopard-print cushioned dais. He wears layered rudraksha malas and a heavy gold necklace with a gold pendant. Behind him a large red-and-yellow painted deity murti with many arms is framed by red drapery. To the left, a man in white dhoti with gold border bends forward, and a silver trident stands at the edge. To the right, a woman in a red sari with gold border turns away. The figure has a long-hair-free appearance with a bindi and is seated centrally as the focal figure, with two attendants flanking him. A figure with a maroon turban, rudraksha malas, gold necklace and robe on an elevated throne suggests a person depiction, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2016-04-10November 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesA seated bearded man in an orange-brown robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a long garland of white flowers with red and yellow blooms and a white tilak on his forehead. A man in a blue patterned shirt bends forward in front of the throne, and a woman in a white dress with an orange-brown shawl stands at right holding a silver staff. Men in white dhotis with gold borders stand at left, and a painted backdrop of a bearded figure appears behind the throne. A distinctive appearance-based cue is the long garland and robe, but the face and identity cannot be confirmed, so the seated man is described by role only as a seated figure on a throne.2016-11-24October 12 20162016-10-12A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy receives honour from two kneeling attendants in front of a large red backdrop showing a multi-armed deity murti with a crown and skull ornaments. The seated man wears a red-maroon robe, a gold chain with a large pendant, a red and white flower garland, and a red bindi. The attendant on the left has long dreadlocked hair and wears white with a gold border; the attendant on the right wears a white sari with a patterned border. Golden lion figures flank the throne. The seated man matches the appearance cues of a person, with long dark hair and gold ornaments, but the attribution is uncertain and the page does not confirm him at this event.2016-04-04
