A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a gold-beaded necklace, rudraksha armbands and a white forehead mark sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne in a temple-style hall with cream columns. Before him, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes with white markings on his arms kneels on the floor beside a silver tray of flowers and a lamp, and a woman in a white sari with a green and red border kneels on the other side, handling silver bowls and a silver tray of flowers on a patterned carpet. Above the throne, a painted shrine panel shows a deity murti with a crown. Silver plates of offerings and a red fruit sit on the carpet.

A man seated on the throne wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace, bangles, a headband and white and red markings on his forehead; he holds a white ceremonial wand and raises one hand in blessing. Before him, a tiered silver lamp stand with lit oil lamps sits between two kneeling figures. On the left, a shaved-headed priest in orange cloth with white sacred ash on his arms and chest holds a ritual item. On the right, a woman with long grey hair in a white blouse and red-green border kneels with her hands together over the lamps. The seated man is a candidate for a person based on the swept headgear, saffron clothing and ornate beaded necklace, while the scene is a puja with oil lamps.2012-05-12May 12 20122012-05-12May 12 20122012-05-12A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with gold trim sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold crown-shaped finial, wearing a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a red bindi, with hands folded in his lap and a pink flower at his feet. Before him, a shaved-headed attendant in orange and gold clothing with white vibhuti markings on his arms and chest kneels on a striped rug, holding up lit incense sticks toward the seated figure, beside silver trays of offerings including a red fruit. Behind them stand cream pillars and a blue-painted doorway decorated with peacocks and floral motifs. This appears to be a ritual reception or puja setting. The seated man's appearance with saffron robe, gold throne, crown and distinctive mala beads is a probable match for Swamiji.2012-05-08
