A man in a leopard-print orange and black turban and dark red robes sits in a wooden chair, holding a brass bowl with a bright flame in both hands while his eyes are closed. He wears many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, a gold chain, and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him stands an ornate golden sunburst backdrop, and to the right are tall brass lamp stands with oil lamps. Smoke rises from a fire pit below. Appearance cues (turban, rudraksha, ornate attire) are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable) performing this fire offering.

He holds a brass bowl with a flaming fire in both hands, with his eyes closed. Beside him is a wooden hand-operated press with a rope wound around its central column, and a smouldering pile of coconut fibre sits below. Brass lamps, a trident and a silver throne-like chair with ornate gold backdrop surround him. A man's hand is partly visible at the lower left, and a stone grinding mortar sits at the bottom right. The scene appears to be a ritual preparation setting.2017-12-10 +2 copiesPhoto 11708271December 10 20172017-12-10 +2 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesDecember 10 20172017-12-10 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated man in a maroon-red robe wrapped over one shoulder, wearing a leopard-print turban with a dark knotted top, white forehead markings with a red bindi, a beard, and many dark rudraksha mala necklaces across his chest and arms. He bends over a small square stone or brick hearth with a flame, stirring a brass bowl with a metal spoon. Beside him at left, a shirtless man in a red cloth holds the bowl steady. Behind them stand tall brass oil lamps and a gold-patterned backdrop with green foliage; a stone mortar and pestle sits at right. The scene looks like a ritual preparation with a small fire and vessel.2017-12-10August 29 20172017-08-29
