Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: turban, gold ornaments and saffron-red clothing, performing abhishekam.2014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at night. A man seated on an ornate silver throne wears a rust-red turban with a tilak on his forehead, a bare upper body with a saffron-gold shawl, long beaded rudraksha malas, a gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and holds a silver cup as water pours over a silver kalasha garlanded with white flowers and red petals. Behind him, a standing attendant in a rust-red robe with a golden sash holds a silver vessel. Another person is partly visible at the right edge. The page identifies the seated man as Swamiji, so this is a probable match based on the turban, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha malas and saffron-coloured clothing; the attendant is a priest or devotee.2014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20June 01 20122012-06-01 +1 copiesA man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-brown garment, wearing a dense rudraksha mala and layered gold ceremonial necklaces and gold bangles, stands with eyes lowered and a red kumkum dot on his forehead.
