A seated figure in a rust-red turban, red-orange robes with gold trim, a coral bead necklace and gold ornaments and a gold bangle sits on the throne, extending his hand toward a kneeling older man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who holds out a red apple. Behind them stand a bald priest in orange robes with gold trim and a rudraksha mala, a seated monk in orange with a headband, and several women in white, pink and red saris looking on. Apples lie in the foreground and a brass lamp stands at right. Appearance cues for the seated figure (turban, coral beads, gold ornaments) fit the a person label, though the frame gives no firm identification.2015-10-16A photo of a seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red robes with gold trim, wearing layered beaded necklaces and bangles, offering a red apple from a tray held in his hand. Beside him stands a shaven-headed priest in orange-red robes with a rudraksha mala and a yellow forehead marking, next to a silver staff with a brass base. A man in a grey shirt kneels on the right with cupped hands extended toward the offering, and two more people in white and red-orange garments stand at the back. A potted green plant and red apples on a tray sit nearby, against a dark red backdrop with a gold throne visible at the left. The seated figure matches the appearance of Swamiji (probable), with an ornate turban, beaded necklaces and orange-red robes, while the priest and standing people are described by their roles.2015-07-04A seated man in a red-orange turban and matching saffron-orange robes with gold borders sits on a gold throne, wearing a layered rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, and hands a green coconut to an older man kneeling on a patterned rug. The older man wears an orange turban and cream shawl with a saffron stole and reaches forward with both hands. A bald, bespectacled attendant in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits behind the throne and holds a yellow paper. Brass oil lamps stand behind, and standing people in white and cream clothes watch at the right edge. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure, identified by his turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, presiding in a satsang-style exchange.2015-10-12October 13 20152015-10-13
