Beside him stands an older woman in a green-and-orange sari with gold border, bending over the table and taking food from a steel pot. A gilded ornate throne with red upholstery sits at left, and a red sofa and blue drapes are visible behind. Other women in red and cream saris move through the background.

A photograph of a serving table at an indoor gathering. A man in a saffron-red and gold dhoti with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair and scoops rice from a large silver bowl, passing food to a woman in a green sari and red shawl who holds a plate. Behind them a woman in white with a red shawl stands at a table of steel pots, another woman in a white and gold sari serves from a pot, and a young man in a white t-shirt with a red shawl sits at the right. Banana leaves, scattered rice and a blue curtain complete the scene. The seated man is presented as a person, identified by saffron-and-gold ceremonial dress, rudraksha mala and gold throne, but his face and hair are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm.2015-12-20December 20 20152015-12-20December 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20 +2 copiesA seated man with a dark hair knot, rudraksha mala necklaces and a red-and-gold sash over an orange-red dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and reaches into a large silver bowl of yellow-gold rice. A woman in a white kurta with a pink lotus motif and a red-orange shawl stands beside him, scooping the same food into her hands. Behind them, several people in white and cream ritual clothes and red sashes work at long white-covered tables with steel pots, trays and banana leaves scattered with grains. A blue curtain hangs at the back and an ornate gold chair stands at the left edge. The seated man shows the appearance-based cues of a presentation with distinctive adornments, so he is labelled as a probable Swamiji candidate; the scene suggests food preparation or distribution at a ritual-style gathering.2015-12-20 +2 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20152015-12-20A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long dark swept-back hairstyle, rudraksha mala and a gold-toned throne behind him, receives a handful of cooked rice from a woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold border.

He is shaping a handful of yellow rice with his hands while a woman in a red-and-orange sari and glasses leans forward to receive the food from his palms. Silver bowls holding yellow rice sit on a white-draped table. Behind them, other people in white and cream clothes with red borders stand near steel pots and a blue backdrop in a tented hall.

A rust-red and gold beaded necklace hangs at the chest. Beside them a woman in a cream and gold-bordered sari with a rust-red shawl and beaded mala smiles while holding up a portion of food.
