A stage tableau at an outdoor tented event, with a central seated figure in saffron-orange robes, a red-and-orange turban, a rudraksha mala and bangles, holding a mala in one hand and a prayer gesture in the other. Four smaller sculpted or painted figures in orange garments with folded hands sit around him, arranged amid green leafy branches and rock-like grey platforms. The figures appear to be life-size painted statues or effigies rather than living people, and the central figure is depicted rather than physically present.

July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a staged tableau under a white tent canopy with green leaves overhead. A large seated figure in the centre is a painted statue with a red turban, orange-saffron robe, rudraksha beads and a red-and-gold garland, holding a rudraksha mala and a short staff-like object. Four smaller painted statues of bearded seated figures in orange robes sit around the base in anjali mudra, hands folded in greeting, on a rocky mock-up platform. The statues are figures in a display, not physical people, and the tableau is a decorative set for a Gurupoornima celebration.2009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07Photograph of painted statues on a rocky stage set under a white tent canopy with green leaves overhead. A central seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-orange turban and a rudraksha-style bead necklace holds a rod or staff. Four to five bearded, shirtless male figures flank him, kneeling or seated with palms pressed together in anjali, painted with white markings. The painted stone platform and foliage form a tableau. These are statues, not living people, and the central figure's identity is not established by appearance.2009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07February 26 20152015-02-26 +1 copiesA seated man in saffron-orange robes and a red head wrap sits on a striped tiger-skin cover on a wooden throne, in a lush garden set with potted plants, leafy vines and rocks. Behind him rises a large golden statue of a multi-armed deity seated with a consort, set against a painted backdrop of tree branches and foliage. The man wears rudraksha mala beads, bangles and an upper-arm band, with his hands raised in front of him. A printed copyright mark is visible at lower right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair beneath the red head wrap, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and ornamental armbands, so he is identified as a probable candidate for Swamiji in person.2015-02-21A seated person in a saffron-orange robe with a red-orange turban, long braided hair and rudraksha malas sits cross-legged on a low wooden platform, palms raised in a blessing gesture. Behind and above is a golden deity murti of a seated figure with raised hands, flanked by smaller golden figures, set against a painted backdrop of large trees and foliage. Green potted plants, leafy vines and rocks surround the platform, and a green draped cloth sits behind the murti. The seated person's appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of a turban, long braids, saffron robes and rudraksha malas, and is shown in a presiding seat.2015-02-02 +1 copies
