A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with red cushions, hands joined in namaskar. A white and red floral garland hangs on his chest, with a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace visible. The throne is framed by white jasmine flower arrangements with orange and yellow marigolds and a striped garland drape. A brass trident (trishul) stands at the right edge, and a partially visible person in light saffron clothing with dark hair stands at the lower right, facing the throne. The setting resembles a stage or temple dais decorated for a ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair under an orange turban, saffron robes, a garland and ceremonial gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.2008-07-17July 17 20082008-07-17July 17 20082008-07-17A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits with palms pressed together in anjali on an ornate gold throne with red cushions.

The seated figure, eyes closed, palms pressed together in namaskar, wears an orange-saffron robe, a saffron turban, a multi-strand white and red flower garland, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala. A second person stands in the right foreground, back to the camera, in an orange-saffron robe and holding a microphone. The scene reads as a satsang or public teaching. A seated figure with this presentation (turban, saffron robe, rudraksha mala, gold necklace) is a probable Swamiji candidate on the throne, as the page indicates, but the face is not used for identification.2008-07-17
