A seated man in a dark red-brown robe sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and blue gemstones, its chair flanked by silver elephant-head armrests draped with red cloth and striped golden tiger-skin cushions. He wears long pink and white flower garlands, a gold chest ornament, a gold necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and white sacred ash lines on his forehead. He holds a white flower bunch in each hand and a curved ceremonial blade and a stick. Behind him is a dark green foliage backdrop with hanging paper decorations, and a partially visible attendant in white stands at the left edge. The scene suggests a ceremonial initiation setting. Swamiji (probable): the page identifies this as Nithyananda Paramashivam and the figure shows long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold ornaments and a saffron-toned robe on a throne.

A man seated on an ornate silver throne encrusted with jewel-coloured stones in red, green, blue and purple, with tiger-striped cushions and silver elephant-head armrests. He wears a maroon-brown robe, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armbands, and long garlands of pink and white flowers. He holds a curved golden-handled ceremonial sword or sickle in one hand and a white flower garland in the other, with a white horizontal tilak and a red bindi on his forehead. Another person in white stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha-style adornment and ceremonial regalia match the page's identification, but the image itself does not confirm it.2017-09-28 +1 copiesA seated man in a maroon-red robe sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with jewel-coloured stones in green, red, purple and gold. He wears long pink and white lotus garlands, a heavy gold chest ornament and gold armlets, holding a white flower bunch in one hand and a curved ceremonial blade in the other. Striped tiger-skin cushions and silver elephant-head armrests flank him, and a white-haired attendant in white stands at the left edge. Wearing white sacred ash marks on the forehead and a dark bindi, the central figure appears to be the a person, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone. Dark foliage and a strung line of small pennants appear behind the throne in an outdoor setting.2017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28September 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate silver throne decorated with red, green and blue jewel-like stones, wearing a maroon-red robe with a gold necklace and gold armbands.
