A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and long swept-back dark hair, seated on an orange-cushioned throne with a red cushion behind. Their bare feet rest on a brown mat while an elderly white-haired woman in a teal and maroon sari with a white flower in her hair kneels and bows over their foot, hands cupped. A woman in a cream sari with orange border stands bending beside her, touching the kneeling woman's shoulder. A man in white shirt and red-pink dhoti stands at the left edge; a person in white holds a camera at the upper right. Behind them stand a stone temple wall, a brass kalasha-style lamp and a red railing. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in orange with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange throne fits the candidate cues.2010-07-03August 09 20092009-08-09A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a red tilak sits on an orange throne-chair under a shrine canopy, appearing to be the Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues. Before him a man in a white shirt and dark trousers kneels and touches his bare feet resting on an orange cushion and wooden sandal, while a man in an orange shawl holds an orange cloth and a man in white dhoti stands nearby. Two women in white saris with gold borders stand at right. Behind them is a golden deity murti in a shrine decorated with red and white garlands and a golden kalasha, with stone carvings on the pillars. The scene suggests padapuja.2010-07-11A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja on a raised stage.

He holds a small brass vessel and a cloth-wrapped object while a kneeling man in a white dhoti and a white sleeveless top reaches up and receives blessing. To the right, a younger person in saffron robes with a red rudraksha headband sits on the adjacent golden seat, hands extended toward the scene. Gold carved backrests and a patterned marble wall frame the paaduka-puja setting, a ritual of reverence for sacred footwear.2012-05-28 +1 copiesA photograph taken indoors in a narrow room with pale blue walls and a wooden door frame on the right.
