With eyes closed he raises a long pole topped with pink flowers in one hand while the other rests on his knee. A bare-chested figure with a hair bun and orange beaded necklace kneels at the left, holding a brass plate with pink flowers and a stainless steel vessel nearby.

May 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesA seated man in an ornate gold and red throne with carved floral detailing, wearing an orange-red saffron robe over bare shoulders, a white tilak with red kumkum on the forehead, long dark hair swept back, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace. He raises his right hand in blessing while smiling. In front of him a woman with hair in a bun and rudraksha beads kneels, offering a tray with a silver vessel and a garland of pink flowers. Ornate wooden carved screens stand behind. The figure matches the Swamiji cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, so the appearance is probable, but the page reference and throne alone do not confirm identity.2018-05-29 +2 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29 +1 copiesMay 29 20182018-05-29May 10 20182018-05-10May 10 20182018-05-10A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a leopard-print shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved, studded backrest. He wears a long garland of pink flowers, a gold necklace and gold bangles, a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and his eyes are closed in meditation. A second man, seen from behind with dark hair in a topknot, bare-backed and marked with white and red paint, holds a silver bowl with offerings to the seated man. Wooden carved panels form the background.
