A seated man in red-orange robes sits cross-legged on a white-and-gold garlanded swing, one hand raised to his head, eyes closed and smiling. He wears a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with a central gold pendant, gold armbands and bangles, and a gold crown-like headpiece with a red tilak. Behind him a richly gilded throne backrest with a tiger-skin cushion and red fabric stands beside a gold trident. White jasmine garlands wrap the swing chains and a gold pillar. A gilded platform sits in front. The scene suggests a ceremonial pushpabhishekam setting.

May 24 20162016-05-24A seated figure in a red-orange robe sits cross-legged on a gold-framed swing decorated with white flower garlands, in front of an ornate gold-and-red throne backdrop with a tiger-skin cloth. He wears heavy gold beaded necklaces, a jewelled headpiece with a crescent ornament, gold armbands and rings, and raises one hand in blessing. A golden trident stands to his left beside a brass lamp stand, and a tiger-skin draped seat is behind him. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, gold crown-style headpiece, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-red robes are visible cues for the presiding guru seated in a ceremonial swing. No other people are visible.2016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24May 24 20162016-05-24January 23 20162016-01-23July 19 20162016-07-19June 18 20162016-06-18July 19 20162016-07-19December 03 20162016-12-03A man seated on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions, wearing a rust-red turban adorned with crescent and star-shaped jewelled ornaments, a rust-red robe with gold border, layered gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and a white-and-gold flower garland. He sits with bare feet on a gold footstool engraved with script, and a red tilak marks his forehead. Behind him are gilded carved panels and red-and-gold pillars. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) candidate, given the saffron-style clothing, turban, gold necklaces and rudraksha cues; the page describes a Pada Puja event.2016-12-03May 24 20162016-05-24June 26 20132013-06-26
