A man seated on an ornate silver throne with a red cushioned back, holding a tall silver staff topped with a decorative finial in his raised right hand. He wears a rust-brown draped cloth, a red-and-orange flower garland with white blossoms, a gold pendant, and beaded red bracelets on both arms, with a red mark on his forehead. Behind and around him, seated devotees and audience members watch in a bright hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a garland, ornate gold jewellery and a staff-bearing pose consistent with ceremonial presentation, so he is recorded as the probable Swamiji. Other attendees in the background include a man in glasses and several people in light clothing.2017-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20172017-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20172017-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20172017-07-04 +1 copiesA photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with red cushioning, holding a tall silver staff topped with a finial.

He wears a rust-brown robe over one shoulder, a long garland of red and white flowers, rudraksha-style red beaded bracelets on his upper arms and wrists, and a gold necklace. He holds a tall silver staff with a finial in his right hand. Behind him, a silver crown-shaped stand and blurred seated devotees fill the hall; part of a bald man in white is visible at right. The appearance cues of long hair, saffron-toned clothing, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold ornaments match the Swamiji candidate, so this is an appearance-based probable identification. Two prominent seated devotees and a partly visible third person are present.2017-07-04 +1 copiesJuly 04 20172017-07-04
