Photograph of a stage ceremony. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind with long dark matted hair and an orange-red shawl raises a lit oil lamp with a multi-flame brass lamp toward the seated central figure. Seated on an ornate gold throne with a cobra-hood canopy, a man in a red-orange robe and matching turban wears a white and orange flower garland and holds a staff, with a small white side table holding vessels beside him. The throne sits on a red cushion before a deep red curtain, and the gold-carved panel at left frames the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a turban, saffron-orange robes and a floral garland on a ceremonial throne, consistent with a depiction of the presiding spiritual leader receiving aarti.

He has closed eyes, a red tilak on his forehead, a pink flower garland and a gold chain, and his right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. In the foreground, a bare-backed attendant in an orange turban and orange cloth holds a lit flame or oil lamp toward him. Hanging gold bells and gold cords decorate the throne area behind. The scene is a ritual or darshan setting; the seated man appears to be a person (in-person candidate) with saffron-toned garments and a flower garland on a throne, but his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-08-09 +1 copiesAugust 06 20172017-08-06March 04 20132013-03-04 +1 copiesCeremonial photograph of a seated figure on an elaborate gilded throne with lion-head armrests, leopard-print cushions and hanging brass bells.
