Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red and gold cushioned backrest decorated with red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti with gold border, a leopard-print top, layered beaded necklaces, and a long red and white flower garland, with white markings on the forehead and long dark hair. A silver trident stands to the right, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the throne seat. In the lower left, a hand holds a silver plate with a lit flame, and another person in the foreground holds a camera. A green-and-red ornamental parasol with a bird emblem stands on the left. The throne figure has distinctive long hair, saffron ornate clothing and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, so an appearance-based candidate is present; the page names Swamiji, so the label is probable Swamiji. The scene is an aarti being offered before a seated figure on a throne. Physical people visible: the seated figure, the hand with the plate, and a partly visible photographer, about three.

Night-time photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion and red bolster, raising one hand in a gesture of address. He wears an orange-brown robe with gold border, layered gold and beaded necklaces, a red and yellow flower garland, and a white-striped forehead mark. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated as an honoured speaker. Beside the throne a man with bare white-painted arms holds a silver tray with a lit oil lamp for aarti. A trident stands at the right edge and a red-and-gold banner hangs behind.

He wears layered rudraksha-style beaded necklaces over a leopard-print garment, a white band on the forehead, and gold bangles. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and his left hand rests on a red cushion. His feet rest on two bronze-colored padukas placed on a gold pedestal. A camera lens is visible in the lower right corner. Appearance-based cues are consistent with the page, so a person is seated on the throne during a satsang setting, with the image showing his ceremonial attire and regalia.2013-03-02A smiling man in a dark red robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-striped seat cover.
