A smiling man seated on a gilded throne in a saffron-orange turban and matching orange robe with gold border, wearing layered pink-and-white flower garlands with gold beaded sections, a rudraksha mala and gold chain. He holds his hands over a silver plate held by an attendant in orange at right. Behind him is a wall of multicolour flower arrangements in red, yellow, white and purple, and a gilded lion-shaped throne armrest. A silver ceremonial staff is visible at left. Swamiji (probable) based on saffron turban, ornate garlands and rudraksha cues; the page attributes the scene to Varanasi.2015-07-09July 09 20152015-07-09October 21 20152015-10-21 +1 copiesJuly 09 20152015-07-09 +1 copiesNovember 10 20152015-11-10July 13 20152015-07-13 +1 copiesJuly 04 20132013-07-04Photograph of a seated guru receiving a ritual offering at a flower-decorated altar. A man in a red-orange turban, saffron-orange robe and layered rudraksha malas with gold-capped beads sits on a cushioned seat, eyes lowered, with a golden ceremonial cloth draped across his lap. A priest on the left wears white dhoti with a gold border, a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, holding a gold ritual vessel. A golden cow-head vessel and a brass peacock lamp stand beside him, with marigold and rose garlands framing the background. Swamiji (probable): the turban, saffron robe and rudraksha malas are the qualifying cues for the seated guru.2015-07-31November 10 20152015-11-10A smiling figure in a red-orange turban and red-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests against dark red drapes. He wears long red and white beaded garlands with green leaf strands, gold ceremonial necklaces, and gold bangles. A woman in a golden-trimmed sari with a brown shawl leans in from the left, offering a silver plate of white sweets. The page labels the seated figure as a person, so this is a probable appearance-based candidate given the turban, ornate gold and garlands, but the face is not used for identification.2015-11-10November 10 20152015-11-10April 27 20182018-04-27 +1 copies
