A photograph of a ritual before a golden throne-like seat (peetha) decorated with multicolour flower garlands in red, yellow, white, purple and green. A standing man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a red and white garland, holds a lit oil lamp (aarti) toward a small deity murti or figure dressed in brown and gold seated on the throne. Another person in orange clothing is partly visible behind him. An orange silk-covered table sits in front, with more marigold and rose garlands. The setting is an indoor hall with white walls and a dark curtain. The standing man's appearance is consistent with a presentation that may match the page's reference, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.

A person with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a rust-orange dhoti with gold borders, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, holds a silver aarti lamp with a flame toward a deity murti. The murti is decorated with colourful flower garlands in purple, green, yellow and red, and stands beside a gold-tone ornate peetha and a tray of flowers, fruit and offerings. A partially visible person stands at the left edge, and another figure in orange is partly visible behind. The setting is a pale pink wall with an air conditioner unit, and the scene reads as an aarti during puja.2013-05-27May 27 20132013-05-27 +1 copiesMay 25 20132013-05-25November 26 20142014-11-26May 25 20132013-05-25 +1 copiesMay 27 20132013-05-27May 25 20132013-05-25 +1 copiesA man with long dark hair stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before an ornate gilded throne draped in garlands of yellow, green, purple, red and white flowers. On the throne sits a small seated deity murti in brown and gold clothing, with a golden crown-like headdress. Orange and red marigold garlands and a rudraksha mala hang around him, and his wrap is rust-orange with a gold border. Flower offerings and a folded white cloth lie on a draped orange cloth at the base of the throne. The room has maroon curtains and a pale wall. The man's appearance with long hair, rudraksha mala, gold armbands and ceremonial orange garments gives a probable identification as Swamiji (probable) in a reverent devotional posture.2013-05-25
