Photograph inside a workshop storeroom: a man in orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti points toward a golden ornate throne-like peetha with a small orange-clad seated figure wearing a rudraksha mala and orange turban. Behind him a second man in white stands near shelves of brass and gold pots, with orange curtains hanging. The gilded pedestal is decorated with grey stone-pattern panels and small painted standing figures, and white and copper-toned statues with turbans sit at the right edge.

Two men stand before a gold-toned throne (peetha) inside an ashram room with white walls and metal shelving holding golden kalasha pots behind orange drapes. A man in a sleeveless orange robe with a sash stands on the left, while a man in white dhoti and orange shawl on the right gestures toward a small seated figure in orange robes and an orange headwrap, with a rudraksha mala, on a red base. Small colourful deity figurines in red and pink sit at the base of the throne. The seated figure is a statue or depiction, not a physical person.2009-12-08A workshop interior with shelves of brass pots and orange curtains behind. On the left, a man in saffron robes with a sleeveless orange top and an orange shawl draped over his shoulder gestures with an open hand toward a sculpture. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands watching. In the centre, a gold-and-silver throne-shaped pedestal holds a small orange-robed seated figure wearing an orange turban and mala. Around the base are small painted figurines of deities and white-robed figures, with more statues in the foreground. The visible people are two, and the figures on the pedestal are statues.2009-12-08December 08 20092009-12-08A photograph of a long-haired man in a flowing saffron-orange robe standing indoors beside a gold-coloured statue of a standing figure wearing an orange robe, a rudraksha mala, and a tall gold crown-like headdress. Behind them is a draped purple-maroon curtain, a gold ceremonial umbrella (chhatra), a gold throne-like seat with a red cushion, brass ritual items, a brass oil lamp, and a floral offering at the statue's base. Colourful woven-patterned hangings hang along the upper wall. The living man appears to be an in-person devotee or sannyasi rather than a confirmed identity; the statue is a depiction.2006-08-22January 03 20102010-01-03July 06 20092009-07-06A man with long, loose dark hair stands on a tiled stage in saffron-orange robes, pointing to the left with his right arm. Behind him, a red-and-gold ornate throne with a canopy sits centre-stage, flanked by gilded figurines and brass oil lamps on the floor. On the right stands a large gold-and-orange statue of a sage holding a staff and wearing a rudraksha mala, and a red velvet stool sits in front of the throne. A maroon curtain hangs behind, with yellow flower arrangements at the base of the pedestal. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's claim, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity.2006-08-22August 22 20062006-08-22April 11 20122012-04-11 +1 copiesJuly 07 20092009-07-07A group stands inside a covered pavilion beside an ornate gold-plated throne with a tall, arched backrest carved with floral and figural panels, its seat draped in plastic sheeting. A man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a long rudraksha mala and dark hair, stands centre-frame looking toward the throne, with a bare-chested long-haired sadhu in orange at right and a man in white dhoti and orange shawl beside him. Younger men in blue and yellow shirts and a white-clad man stand behind, and a figure in orange and a figure in a pink shawl are in the foreground near the throne. The orange-robed figure appears to be a person by appearance, with saffron robes, rudraksha mala and turban as cues, though the image is uncertain.2007-12-30A photograph of a standing man in orange robes with his hair tied in a bun, beside a seated figure in red-orange robes on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-black tiger-stripe cushion. The seated figure has a white tripundra and red bindi, raises one hand in blessing and appears to be a lifelike statue or wax figure rather than a living person. The standing man, shown from the shoulders to the feet, is the only physical person here. A printed photograph on the wall at upper right shows a figure in red robes. The room has white walls and a dark doorway.2009-07-06
