Devotees gather in a decorated hall around a gilded throne draped with white, yellow and red flower garlands. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and red bindi sits on the throne with bare feet, while a man in white shirt and dhoti leans in to honour them. Women in white saris with gold borders and a woman in a dark embroidered sari stand nearby; a girl in a yellow top sits in the foreground. Pink and silver draped curtains with gold ornamental panels form the backdrop, and a table holds a red box and offerings. The seated figure appears to be a sannyasi receiving padapuja; the robe and placement suggest a person on the throne, with appearance cues limited to the saffron robe and throne.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with white and orange-red flower garlands and a red cushion, his hands raised in a gesture. Around him, attendants in white dhotis and orange robes stand and kneel, including a man in white with folded hands, a woman in a white sari with a teal border kneeling near the throne, and another woman in a white sari with gold border standing and holding a cloth. A standing fan and a seated woman in white at right complete the scene.2009-01-18A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, a red and white floral garland at its top, and a red-and-gold backdrop behind. A small red dot marks the forehead and the figure's bare feet rest on a red cushion. Around him, several devotees in white shirts and dhotis, a woman in an orange sari, and a young girl in a gold top and green skirt bend in to offer reverence, one man's hands near the figure's head and another touching his foot. Appearance cues include a saffron robe and a sitting position on a throne with devotees bowing, but the face is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity. Five physical people are prominent, plus a girl at lower left, with the throne figure central.2009-07-11July 11 20092009-07-11July 11 20092009-07-11August 02 20092009-08-02July 11 20092009-07-11August 31 20092009-08-31
