A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and orange accents, wearing a cream turban with a red mark on its front, cream dhoti and shawl, a multi-strand beaded necklace, a gold armlet and bangles. He sits with hands folded in his lap and gazes to the side. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside the throne, and marigold and flower offerings lie at his feet on a gold tray. The visible cues of turban, beaded ornaments and throne match the page's a person reference, but face-free appearance alone is not a firm identity match, so the figure is described as a person in a throne-seated honorific setting.

April 17 20122012-04-17 +1 copiesApril 18 20122012-04-18April 15 20122012-04-15A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne in a dark room with brass oil lamps lit on both sides. He wears a cream turban with a red bindi, a cream dhoti and shawl with a patterned wrap across the chair, multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and beaded bangles on his wrists and upper arms. Gold plates of marigolds, pink flowers and offerings rest at his bare feet. The scene shows a seated throne ceremony with lamp-lit ritual setting. The figure's appearance does not clearly match a specific identification, so the a person field is unsure.2012-04-17 +1 copiesA man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large gold-embossed backrest and red cushions, hands clasped in his lap. He wears a cream turban with a red tilak, saffron-orange robes with red-bordered drape, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and gold armbands. Behind him stand brass oil lamps with lit flames and a tall ceremonial staff, with painted deity figures and red-and-gold decorative panels at the sides. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, turban, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments on the seated figure match the page's identification, with the throne.2012-04-08A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat, centred in a shrine-like setting. He wears a cream turban with a red tilak, an orange saffron garment draped over his bare shoulders, and multiple strands of rudraksha beads with a gold necklace. He holds a silver staff with his right hand near his chest and his left hand rests on his thigh, with bangles on his wrists. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand beside and above the throne, and a painted deity figure in green and gold appears at the right edge. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji, seated in person with distinctive saffron clothing, rudraksha malas, and a turban.2012-04-08A seated man in white ritual dress sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in a shrine-like alcove flanked by painted figures and brass oil lamps.

He wears a long red and yellow flower garland, a rudraksha mala, a red tilak on his forehead, and gold-toned bangles on his wrists. Gold oil lamps with bird-shaped tops flank the throne against a dark stone wall. Swamiji (probable) is shown in the appearance-based label, with the saffron clothing, turban and rudraksha cues visible in this photograph of the throne setting.
