January 09 20182018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09A photograph of a staged ceremonial scene inside a blue-draped tent hung with garlands of yellow, white, purple and red flowers. A seated man on a raised wooden platform wears a gold crown, a gold necklace with beaded strands, red-maroon draped cloth and bangles; he presses his palms together in greeting and smiles. A second man kneels at right in a red-orange robe with his palms joined, facing him. Orange cushions lie behind the platform, and flower petals are scattered on the patterned floor rug, with a silver-toned stool at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's gold crown, ornate gold necklaces and maroon regal garments match the cues for the page subject.2018-01-09A seated man in a maroon-red robe wears a golden crown, multiple gold chains and a rudraksha-style mala, seated on a flower-draped throne with garlands of yellow, pink and white flowers. Beside him, a decorated palanquin or swing-like seat with garlands hangs in front of a blue backdrop. Two women in green and red saris and white clothes sit near a cushion, and two men in white dhotis and shawls stand at the right edge holding an orange cushion. The setting is a festive ceremonial stage with floral decorations and stage lights.2018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09January 09 20182018-01-09A seated figure on a gold-framed tiger-skin throne under a floral canopy strung with yellow marigolds and red roses, with pink flower garlands draped over him. The central figure wears a gold crown-like headpiece, rust-orange robes, gold armlets and bangles, and a gold pendant, and raises his right hand in blessing while smiling with eyes closed. In the foreground, a bare-chested devotee with long hair, wearing a white dhoti, sits facing him with hands folded. Behind the throne hangs a large portrait of a robed, bearded figure with long beads, and purple lighting glows at left. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has a crown, saffron-orange clothing, and a rudraksha-style necklace, and sits on the central throne as the one giving blessings.2017-07-09A photograph of a seated man on a raised wooden dais beneath a blue draped canopy, the dais and canopy pillars wrapped in garlands of yellow, white, purple and red flowers. The seated man wears a gold crown, a light-brown ceremonial robe, multiple strands of beaded necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, and sits smiling with hands resting on his lap. A devotee in a red top and orange wrap lies prostrate on the floor in front of the dais, touching the base of the flower-covered seat. Orange cushions are arranged at the side of the seat and a silver stand sits at its base. The cues on the seated man (crown, ornate necklaces, ceremonial robe) are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji presence in person.2018-01-09A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate silver-legged throne draped in a leopard-print cushion, wearing a maroon-red robe, a rudraksha-style ceremonial necklace and bangles, with a crown-like headpiece. The throne is framed by thick garlands of yellow, white, purple and pink flowers wound around pillars and a canopy against blue drapery. Three people kneel and bow at his feet in ritual obeisance: a woman in a white sari with gold border and red-patterned blouse, a man in a dark blue top bending forward, and a woman in a white and red garment prostrating on the mat. A standing woman in a white sari with gold border reaches toward the seated figure's feet. Petals and an embroidered mat lie on the floor. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the saffron-maroon robe, ceremonial necklace, crown-like headpiece and garlanded throne, seated in the role of the honoured guru.2018-01-09A figure seated in lotus posture on a striped tiger-skin mat under a canopy hung with marigold and red flower garlands and a yellow cloth. The seated figure is a life-size statue or effigy, not a living person: it wears a gold crown, layered gold necklaces, a white flower garland and bangles, and holds one hand raised in a mudra. Standing at right, a person with hair tied up wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, reaching up to adjust the yellow cloth above. In the foreground at right, a bare-backed person in saffron cloth with a white sacred thread is seen from behind. A purple and gold brocade backdrop and a metal bowl complete the setting.2019-05-18A ceremonial scene before a deep red curtain draped with flower garlands in pink, white, yellow and purple.

In the centre, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border stands with long hair and a rudraksha-style necklace, touching the swing. On the right, a person in an orange-brown robe with gold border stands beside a gold-embroidered cushion on the swing. Gold-and-orange tassels hang from above and a rug covers the floor.
