A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved panels, backed by yellow and red flower garlands. The central figure wears saffron-orange robes, long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, and layered beaded gold-coloured necklaces, and is handing out printed cards with a smile; this appearance is probable Swamiji, seated in person as a guru receiving devotees. Around him, a bald attendant in orange robes holds a brass tray, a woman in a red sari with a striped border bends forward to take a card, and a small child in a red T-shirt reaches toward the throne. A brass bowl sits on the right, with fruit and flower petals on the dais below.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, and layered gold necklaces smiles while gesturing with his right hand over a brass plate heaped with white grains. Beside him, another man in orange clothing reaches toward the plate, which sits on a bright orange cloth. Behind them is an ornate gold-toned backdrop with garlands of white and pink flowers, and a red tiger-striped cushion. A bearded man in the lower left holds up his hands. The setting suggests a biksha offering ritual at a Gurupoornima-style gathering. Possibly Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robes, and gold necklaces match the page's description, so the identification is tentative.2008-07-17December 24 20092009-12-24A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in front of a golden ornate throne decorated with marigold and rose garlands and green leaf festoons.
