A photograph of a seated man in an orange-red sannyasi-style robe with a dark tiered turban, wearing rudraksha malas on his neck and arm and a gold-patterned waist sash. He sits cross-legged with eyes closed, holding a mala and hands near an ornate silver throne-like altar. Silver ceremonial items are arranged on the altar, including a kalasha-like vessel and flower garlands, with a lion-form silver vessel and a tall brass lamp stand nearby. Striped red-and-white walls and a microphone stand appear behind, with a colourful deity shrine visible in the background. Aushadha preparation is only suggested by the page and is not visible here.

September 14 20172017-09-14A seated man in a rust-red and maroon robe sits at a silver ritual setup inside a temple hall with red and white striped pillars. He wears a leopard-print headwrap, a long dark cloth falling down his back, a gold-bead necklace and a beaded armband. Around him are silver vahanas and peetha-style silver shrines, including a silver bull (Nandi) and silver deity murti decorated with white jasmine garlands and marigold flowers. Brass oil lamps burn in front, with silver covered vessels and a silver kalasha in the foreground. The man appears to be a priest performing puja; his role is the focus of the scene. Strong visible cues do not clearly establish a specific identity, so the appearance is uncertain.2017-10-08September 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesOctober 08 20172017-10-08A seated man in a rust-orange sleeveless garment with a leopard-print waist cloth and a black turban with a crescent emblem sits on a silver chair with a tiger-skin cushion. He wears multiple rudraksha malas and beaded armlets and works with a small brass vessel on a low table. In front of him, a large ornate silver throne holds a deity murti garlanded with white flowers, flanked by silver vahana figures. Bowls, a stone mortar and pestle, a basket and herbs lie on a striped cloth in a temple-like hall with red-and-white painted pillars and a silver lamp stand. This appears to be an aushadha preparation scene, with herbs and vessels arranged for making the remedy.2017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +1 copiesSeptember 14 20172017-09-14 +3 copiesOctober 08 20172017-10-08September 14 20172017-09-14 +2 copiesA photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver-backed chair outdoors at night, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a large black turban with a crescent ornament, a red-orange robe, a gold necklace and many rudraksha malas across his chest and arms. Before him stands a stone mortar and pestle and a dark grinding slab with herbs and yellow powder, used for preparing an aushadha medicine. A brass deity figure, a silver throne decorated with garlands, and lamps sit nearby, with a microphone on a stand and lush green foliage behind. The man's appearance with a turban, crescent, saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas is a probable match for Swamiji (probable), seated and preparing aushadha.2017-09-14 +1 copiesOctober 08 20172017-10-08October 08 20172017-10-08
