Around him, seated on the floor in a semicircle, are devotees in white and yellow sarees and dhotis; a woman in yellow holds a brass plate, and a man in white dhoti with a bare chest is seated near offering trays of flowers, fruit and brass dishes. Behind the throne is a large backdrop printed with figures in pink and blue garments, a red-garbed deity figure and floral garlands. Patterned curtains and orange floor cushions fill the hall. The setting suggests a satsang or puja gathering.2010-09-17November 14 20102010-11-14November 20 20102010-11-20A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long rudraksha mala, with long dark hair swept back, in an outdoor temple courtyard. A garlanded deity murti in an orange-draped shrine stands behind him. Around the front of the throne, about a dozen devotees sit on the orange floor cloth: several women in white and orange saris, a woman in a yellow shawl, and white-clad priests, one shaved-headed with a gold necklace. They hold incense sticks and aarti or puja plates with fruit, flowers and oil lamps. Red-and-white striped walls and an ornate gateway frame the scene. The seated man's identity is an appearance-based candidate with several cues, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) as the figure in orange robe with rudraksha mala and long hair on a throne.2010-10-31 +2 copiesOctober 17 20102010-10-17A seated man in long swept-back dark hair, an orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne, with a gold-tiered side table holding flowers and a small lamp in front of him. A group of about ten devotees sits on a red-patterned floor mat around a silver tray of offerings, several holding lit oil lamps or flower garlands. Most women wear white saris with yellow or orange borders and orange shawls, while a few men are bald and wear white dhotis. A white ceiling fan, a curtain and a window are behind them, and a bright orange cloth drapes a stool in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure on the throne based on his long hair, orange robe and mala.2010-10-29
