A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and maroon turban, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white and green flower garland with lemon-green beads, holds a long silver staff topped with a trident-like finial. He sits on a raised platform as devotees gather in a small blue-walled room. Kneeling devotees in white and orange clothing, some with orange shawls, fold their hands or bow, and a man in a white shirt bends forward near his feet. A woman with grey hair and a green sari sits nearby, and several children and a standing man in orange stand behind. A white electric fan is at left. Marigold petals lie on the floor. The scene reads as a devotee blessing or darshan gathering.

He holds a silver trident (trishul) upright in his right hand. Around him in a small room, devotees sit on a red-and-orange cloth: a man in a white shirt and dhoti, a woman in a pink top and blue sari with hands joined, a woman in white with a grey braid, a young woman in white, and a young man in a striped shirt. A standing young man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads and a shaved head stands behind the throne. A seated monk in orange at lower right holds a brass lamp-type object, with brass items near the throne and a fan on the left. Walls are white with a small window. Some devotees look on attentively during what appears to be a padapuja, with fruit and offerings on a tray nearby.

A seated man in an orange robe, maroon turban and rudraksha mala, wearing a garland of green and yellow flowers and gold armbands, raises a silver trident with one hand while people kneel before him. A bare-chested attendant in orange stands behind holding the trident, and a boy in a green jacket stands at left. Several devotees kneel on the floor, some in white and red shawls, with rose petals and flower garlands scattered around. Red roses decorate the wall. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, rudraksha mala and saffron robe, and seated in a ceremonial role receiving devotees.2013-06-23 +2 copiesA small room with pale blue walls and a barred window shows devotees performing a ritual before a seated figure.

A standing attendant in orange dhoti and rudraksha beads stands behind. Several devotees in white and green clothing kneel before the seated figure, one washing or touching the feet while others bow with heads lowered. Flower petals and garlands cover the seat. The room has pale blue walls, a small window, and a rose-decorated corner.
