A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne under a fringed umbrella at night. The central figure wears a tall dark swept-back hair style with a crescent ornament and a purple and white flower crown, white vibhuti with a red bindi, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, an orange-maroon robe with gold border, and gold armlets. Pink and purple flower garlands drape from neck to knees. Eyes are closed. A man in an orange-brown dhoti with white forehead markings sits at the right, and a partly visible person in orange sits at the lower left, with hands joined. Behind the throne are a decorated kalasha-style urn and a small carved lion figure on a striped platform. Appearance-based cues (swept-back hair, crown-like ornament, rudraksha mala, saffron-orange robes, gold ornaments) suggest Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne as the central figure.2016-03-06March 06 20162016-03-06Night-time ceremonial scene under a corrugated roof. A man with long, swept-back black hair, a crown-like floral adornment, vibhuti and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne beneath a fringed red-and-gold umbrella. He wears a rust-red garment with gold border, a long pink-and-purple flower garland, rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant. Swamiji (probable) is the candidate for the seated figure, based on the swept-back hair, crown-like adornment, ornate clothing and rudraksha cues. A bare-chested man in a rust-red shawl with gold border kneels at right, holding a brass plate of small cloth-wrapped offerings. A man in white with a rust-red cloth bends forward at lower left, and another figure in orange stands at the upper right.
