A photograph of a seated figure in an ornate golden throne decorated with white jasmine and red flower garlands. The seated person wears a loose orange-red robe over a red undergarment, with a red bindi on the forehead, and sits on a red cushion on a red and black tiger-striped throne cushion. Two men in white shirts stand at the left and right, one bending forward with hands near the seated figure and the other with palms pressed together in namaskar. Offerings lie nearby, including a small pile of candies, a mango, and a wooden staff.2009-06-14July 11 20092009-07-11June 14 20092009-06-14June 14 20092009-06-14A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes draped over a red sleeveless top, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a red zebra-striped cushion. He is smiling with eyes closed and hands resting in his lap. A man in a white short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers, wearing glasses, bows forward and holds the seated man's hand. Gold-leaf carvings and yellow and purple flower garlands decorate the throne and backdrop. A partial figure in white stands at the right edge. The seated figure appears to match the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, saffron robes and a ceremonial throne, while the greeting man is a devotee.2009-07-19June 14 20092009-06-14A seated man in an orange-red sleeveless robe and red undershirt sits on an ornate gold throne with red zebra-striped cushions, a red bindi on his forehead and an orange towel draped over his lap. Fruit, sweets and flower garlands surround him. A younger man in a white shirt and white trousers leans in from the left, reaching toward the seated figure. The setting appears to be a satsang or darshan hall with a backdrop of flowers and fabric, and the seated figure is barefoot on a red cushion.2009-06-14A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja on a gilded throne decorated with garlands of white and pink flowers. A seated figure in orange robes and a red shawl, with long dark hair, is smiling while a woman in a white sari with green trim kneels and bows to wash or honour his bare feet. Behind them a woman in white stands with her hands together, and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands beside the throne. A second man in orange robes with a red shawl stands at right, touching the seated figure's garment, with a man in a cream shirt and a woman in white at the edge. The backdrop is a warm orange-toned drape. Aside from the seated figure, the orange-robed man at right is a clear candidate for the probable identity cue of distinctive orange robes and long hair, but the figure's appearance is not sufficient to confirm an identity; the scene is a devotional foot-honouring ritual.2009-08-08A seated figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe sits on a gold-carved, ornate throne with a red cushion, smiling and looking up toward a standing man in a white kurta and white dhoti who leans in with his hand near the seated figure's knee. A second man in white stands at the left edge and a partially visible person in white stands at the right. The throne is framed by garlands of yellow and pink flowers, palm fronds, and white gerbera daisies. The seated figure has long dark hair and no visible crown, turban or rudraksha mala, so the appearance cues are insufficient to name a candidate, and the page does not indicate a person is present.2009-01-26July 16 20092009-07-16A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-saffron robe draped over the shoulder and a red inner garment, with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala in hand. Several devotees surround him: a man in a white shirt bends low to touch his feet, another man in a striped shirt stands beside the throne, a younger man in orange dhoti and shawl stands behind, and a woman in a white sari with gold jewellery stands at right. The throne is decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands and white flower strands, and a white pedestal fan stands at left against a brick wall. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated in person, identified by his saffron robe, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gilded throne. Devotees offer respect in an ashram setting.2009-07-19January 31 20092009-01-31
