Ornamental silver spikes radiate around the rim. A partial hand with a raised palm appears at the lower right edge. Red curtains and a stage backdrop are behind.

He wears a deep red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and a maroon turban with gold ornaments, a white tilak on his forehead, and a gold chain necklace with a bracelet. He sits on a leopard-print cushion. To his left stand a silver trishul with a face motif and a silver staff, and a leopard-print shawl hangs over the throne. The background is dark. The figure appears to match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of a red-orange garment, turban, and ornate ceremonial dress, so this is an in-person candidate.2018-04-30A gilded deity murti stands against a deep maroon velvet curtain, adorned with a tall gold crown set with red and green stones.

It holds a trident-like staff and a ceremonial fan-shaped object in its hands.2014-10-04 +1 copiesAugust 19 20172017-08-19April 25 20182018-04-25November 18 20152015-11-18
