A smiling man in a leopard-print orange and black turban, with a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, holds a brass bowl of burning flame in both hands. He wears layered rudraksha beads across his chest and arms and a gold chain at his neck, with a dark red-brown cloth draped around him. He sits in a wooden chair wrapped with rope, with a small fire burning on a wooden block at its base. Behind him stands a large ornate golden sunburst backdrop, and brass oil lamps and lamp stands frame the right side of the scene.

He wears many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, a gold chain, and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands an ornate golden sunburst backdrop, and to the right are tall brass lamp stands with oil lamps. Smoke rises from a fire pit below. Appearance cues (turban, rudraksha, ornate attire) are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable) performing this fire offering.2017-12-10 +2 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +2 copiesA photograph of a seated man in rust-red sannyasi robes and a leopard-print turban, with dark hair knotted on top, a white and red tilak on his forehead, and many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms. He holds a brass bowl with a flaming fire in both hands, with his eyes closed. Beside him is a wooden hand-operated press with a rope wound around its central column, and a smouldering pile of coconut fibre sits below. Brass lamps, a trident and a silver throne-like chair with ornate gold backdrop surround him. A man's hand is partly visible at the lower left, and a stone grinding mortar sits at the bottom right. The scene appears to be a ritual preparation setting.2017-12-10 +2 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesPhoto 11708272December 10 20172017-12-10December 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copies
