A photograph of a group of men in white shirts and dhotis gathered closely around a central figure. The central person wears a red-maroon turban, a gold-yellow silk shawl over a dark maroon garment, and a multicolored garland of red, white and yellow flowers. Several men in white are garlanding or draping him with yellow cloth, while others stand with hands folded in greeting. Behind them stands a large ornate gold throne with carved backrest against red curtains, and a bald man in saffron-orange robes with white tilak marks on his forehead and arm stands at the right edge. A screen with colourful imagery is visible at the top. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the face and garment cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this remains uncertain.2015-08-09August 09 20152015-08-09A seated figure in an orange-red turban with a feather-like crest, wearing a white and red flower garland and a gold ceremonial necklace over orange-saffron robes, smiles while receiving an offering from a brass-lidded box held before him. Standing beside him, a man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala presses his palms together in greeting, while a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a gold necklace stands nearby. Another man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala holds his hands together, and more people are blurred in the background near stone pillars and a golden throne at right. The appearance-based label of the seated figure is Swamiji (probable), based on his orange turban, saffron robes, garlands and gold ornaments, though his identity is not certain.2012-05-12July 31 20152015-07-31July 31 20152015-07-31A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, wearing a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange robe and a multi-strand rudraksha mala, with a long garland of orange marigolds and white flowers draped over the shoulders. Several men in white and light-coloured shirts bend forward and reach toward the figure's feet and hands in a gesture of reverence, while a woman in a red-and-gold sari stands at the left edge beside the throne. The figure appears to be a person, identified by the turban, robe and rudraksha cues with a throne and garland setting, and is seated in the central position of a darshan scene.2016-04-30Photo of a ceremonial reception in an indoor hall with red curtains.
