A photograph of a festival setting with a large gilded ornate chariot-like structure carved with figures, topped by a gold umbrella. Two large murti figures, a deity statue and a figure in colourful flower garlands, sit on golden seats, one wearing a gold crown and holding an object. Garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers drape the figures. Several people in the foreground, including a woman in an orange sari and men in white and cream clothes, sit or stand near the seats. Red plastic chairs and a white draped backdrop complete the scene.

December 15 20112011-12-15Photograph of a temple shrine decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds with red and purple flowers. Behind the flowers stands a gilded deity murti with a red and gold turban and ornate necklaces, seated beside a second gilded figure. In front, a small blue-and-white figure is adorned with flower garlands, and a silver kalasha-like pot, fruit offerings, brass vessels and a plate of white offerings are arranged on the altar. On the left, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a white shawl, a sacred thread visible, raises his arm toward the shrine. A second person in an orange garment stands at the left edge, and a gold-rimmed ceremonial fan or canopy stands in the foreground. Strings of small bulbs hang from the ceiling of the stone pavilion.2010-01-01A man in a rust-orange saffron robe and an orange turban stands before a richly decorated shrine, his bare arms raised with palms pressed together above his head in a gesture of concentration. He wears a long rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him is a large deity murti, adorned with yellow and multicoloured garlands and ornate jewellery, with two smaller figures flanking it. A silver elephant pedestal and a microphone stand are in the foreground, with red drapes and a gold arch framing the scene. The setting suggests a stage-based spiritual session. The orange robe, orange turban and rudraksha mala together are the visible cues for a probable Swamiji identification.2017-11-24January 13 20152015-01-13October 27 20142014-10-27 +1 copiesA seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne (peetha) under a golden canopy with a small orange umbrella. A large multicoloured floral garland arc in red, yellow, purple and green frames the throne back, and the figure wears layered beaded necklaces and a ceremonial gold pendant. Gold lion-shaped figures flank the seat, with carved golden pillars and deity figures in the niche behind. The figure's hand is raised in a teaching gesture while speaking. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, orange turban and layered beaded necklaces with a ceremonial pendant match the expected presentation, and the setting is a satsang throne, so the candidate is in_person.2015-01-13A photograph of a stage set with two ornate gold thrones draped in multicolour flower garlands.
