A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in a gilded ornate setting. A man with a rust-red turban and bare chest, wearing a thick beaded rudraksha-style mala and gold armband, sits on a gold-carved throne and accepts a folded white paper from a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl, whose palms are pressed together in namaste. Behind them stand a woman in a red-brown sari and other attendants near a gold-and-green draped backdrop with a golden staff. The seated figure has distinctive turban and mala cues, so he is a person candidate in a throne role, while the standing man is a devotee presenting the paper.

August 07th 20152015-08-07 +1 copiesA seated figure in a rust-orange turban, rust-orange robe and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace raises a hand to touch the forehead of a standing man in a white kurta with an orange-and-gold sash. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne-like chair before a deity murti draped in colourful silks and heavy gold garlands and jewellery. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari with a beaded necklace and other women in white and orange stand near the sanctum. A small girl in white watches at right. The scene looks like a blessing moment during a temple ritual.2015-10-24October 24 20152015-10-24October 25 20152015-10-25February 22 20162016-02-22 +1 copiesOctober 24 20152015-10-24A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban, orange-brown robe and layered gold and beaded necklaces, pressing a hand to the forehead of an elderly man in white kurta and white dhoti who has his hands folded in namaste. The turbaned figure holds a small paper or card in the other hand. Behind them stands a gold-ornamented deity murti draped in garlands, jewellery and a green and pink cloth, with red drapes and a golden throne-like frame. A woman in the background wears a red bindi and a sari. This appears to be a blessing moment during a Kashi Vishwanath Abhishekam event; the turbaned figure has distinctive long hair, a turban and ornate gold jewellery, so an appearance-based candidate is probable Swamiji (probable) receiving or giving the blessing, while the elderly devotee in white is a devotee.2015-10-24October 25 20152015-10-25October 25 20152015-10-25November 08 20152015-11-08October 24 20152015-10-24A photograph of a ritual exchange on a stage with a gold-trimmed throne. A seated figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, orange and yellow robes, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and bracelets; he smiles and extends his hands to receive an offering. Another kneeling man in orange and yellow with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head sits in the centre, watching. On the right, a man in white with yellow tilak and a rudraksha mala leans forward to hand over a small object. Brass oil lamps stand behind them and attendants in orange and white with gold necklaces stand at the back. Only the seated central figure's appearance is distinctive, but the page does not place a person at this event, so identity is unsure. +1 copies
