A seated figure sits on an ornate silver throne (peetha) decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in purple, yellow and white, with a silver canopy overhead. He wears a red-orange dhoti and a rudraksha-style gold necklace over bare upper body, a crown-like headpiece with an orange fabric piece, and holds a long silver staff (trident-like rod) across his lap. Behind him a backdrop shows a large illuminated gopuram-style temple tower under a starry night sky. At right, a standing attendant in orange clothing and a saffron turban bends forward holding a phone. A cooling air-conditioning unit stands at left. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues: ornate crown and saffron/orange clothing with gold necklace on a throne.

A man in a red-maroon robe sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with garlands of red, white and purple flowers. He wears a gold crown-like headpiece, a multi-strand red and white flower garland, a gold necklace, and holds a long silver staff across his lap. Beside the throne, a golden statue of a female deity stands at right. To the right, a second man in an orange-brown robe with a red turban and rudraksha beads sits on a wooden chair holding a microphone and speaking. Behind them a backdrop shows an illuminated temple tower against a night sky, and a red carpet covers the platform. The throne figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but the cues are not distinctive enough for a firm label.2018-04-25 +1 copiesApril 25 20182018-04-25 +1 copiesApril 25 20182018-04-25A photo of a seated man on an ornate silver throne decorated with red, purple, yellow and white garlands, with a silver canopy overhead.

The background shows a large illuminated temple tower in red and blue light. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-like headpiece, ornate gold adornments and a gold ceremonial necklace, consistent with the page's description of the Meenakshi Pattabhishekam puja at Nithya Puja.2018-04-25A seated man on an ornate silver throne with a silver canopy overhead, draped in garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, wearing a red dhoti, gold chest ornament and several beaded necklaces, a bright crown-like headpiece and a green cloth at his head, holding a silver staff.
