A photograph inside a plain white-walled room. A seated figure in an orange robe, bare-chested with long swept-back hair, sits on a zebra-print upholstered throne, with white marks on the arm and body. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to attend to the seated figure, while another white-clad attendant sits near the throne. On the left, a standing man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala watches with hands folded. Behind them, marigolds and green leaves lie on the floor near a small ornate red-and-gold canopied shrine with a deity murti. A tall pillar painted with red, blue and white bird motifs stands in the background, with pink plastic bags stacked at right. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, orange garments and bare-chested ceremonial adornment, which is a probable match for a person; the attendants are priests or devotees.

A photograph of devotees in a plain white-walled hall offering respect to a seated figure on a zebra-striped upholstered armchair. The seated man wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body and has long dark hair, with white markings on his arms. Standing devotees in white clothes with orange-red shawls and a man in a white shirt surround him. A woman in a pink sari with a flower garland bends forward, offering something. An orange-robed attendant holds a tray with offerings, and brass oil lamps stand nearby, with a colourful patterned pillar behind. The scene is a seated darshan or puja in the hall, with the chair in the centre of activity.2009-06-09January 08 20122012-01-08June 09 20092009-06-09October 02 20112011-10-02October 02 20112011-10-02June 09 20092009-06-09April 06 20122012-04-06July 17 20082008-07-17August 11 20092009-08-11February 24 20092009-02-24A ceremonial scene inside a decorated pavilion with orange and red temple-architecture backdrop and gold-trimmed throne. A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe over a red top and is seated on a gold and red throne decorated with yellow and pink flowers; he appears to be a probable Swamiji by visible cues of long hair and orange ceremonial clothing, and he is extending his hand to be touched by a bending devotee. The devotee in a white shirt and black trousers bows forward, holding the seated man's foot area. Another orange-robed attendant sits beside the throne, a man in a white shirt with a lanyard stands behind, and women in pale garments and a white sari appear at the edges.2009-08-11A photo inside a small room with cream walls and a zebra-striped cushioned seat draped with a red flower garland and a white cloth. A figure in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, long dark hair, and a large medallion on a garland bows forward, appearing to touch the feet of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends low. A man in a white shirt with a gold wristwatch stands beside them, and a figure in a green and gold sari is at the right edge. A small glass case with a deity murti sits in the background. The orange-robed figure matches the appearance cues of the page's subject, so the label is a person, though the face is not used for identification.2011-12-21
