A seated man in a dark red shawl and matching red-maroon dhoti sits on an ornate silver-coloured throne-chair with embossed floral and scroll patterns, under a red and gold tasselled canopy with small silver heart-shaped pendants. He has a red tilak on his forehead and a gold chain at his neck. Blurred in the foreground are orange marigold garlands and offerings, and a flame burns on the right beside a white ritual object in a garden setting.

A seated man in a red-maroon shawl and matching cloth sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-embossed throne with a leopard-print seat cushion. He wears a red bindi, gold earrings, and holds his hands folded in his lap. An orange fringed canopy hangs above the throne, with blurred orange-clad figures in the foreground and a garden of green shrubs behind. Whether this man is a person cannot be determined from appearance, so no identity label is applied.2014-01-11January 11 20142014-01-11January 11 20142014-01-11January 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesA seated man in a rust-red shawl and leopard-print cloth holds a lit oil lamp in one hand and a silver handbell in the other during a ritual. He wears a long rudraksha mala with a red tilak on his forehead and sits before an ornate silver-framed backdrop. Two blurred attendants in white dhotis stand behind him, and a garland of white flowers hangs at the right edge. Smoke and warm light fill the room. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a rust-red shawl, which fit the page's claim that Swamiji is present.2014-09-14January 19 20142014-01-19 +1 copiesEvening ritual fire scene in a open pavilion. A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace and a red-orange tilak sits on an ornate gilded throne under a tasselled orange-and-gold canopy, hands extended over a bright flame that sends smoke upward. Nearby, a bare-chested priest in a brown-red cloth and a kneeling woman in maroon-red garments face the fire; a man in white stands with palms together in the background, and a woman in red sits at left. A pot-like offering and orange cloths lie at the lower edge.2013-12-20Outdoors on grass, a seated figure in red-orange robes with a matching shawl sits on an ornate silver-embossed throne with a leopard-print cushion, hands pressed together in namaskar near the face, eyes lowered. Gold jewellery is visible at the ear. Beside the throne, a second figure bent forward in orange-red garments with a gold-striped border and a gold-and-wooden bead mala, tends a flaming oil lamp on a brass stand. The figure on the throne shows distinctive ornate and saffron-toned cues, but the appearance is not sufficiently clear to confirm identity, so this is a seated devotee in an aarti-like lamp ritual.2014-01-11January 11 20142014-01-11December 09 20132013-12-09Outdoor photograph of a man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne under a decorated silver-and-maroon canopy umbrella, beside a silver trident standard. He wears a rust-red robe over a saffron-orange dhoti, a long gold-bead necklace, a saffron forehead mark, and holds his hands folded in his lap.
