A seated man in red ceremonial dress performs a ritual at a temple shrine. He wears a long red skirt, a leopard-print garment across his chest, and layered rudraksha malas around his neck and arms, with a gold pendant. A white tripundra marks his forehead, and his long dark hair is tied up with red cloth. In his right hand he holds a spoon-like ladle lifting reddish powder. An attendant on the left holds a silver plate of the same powder. Silver kalasha vessels, silver elephant-shaped ornaments, and black deity murti decorated with yellow and red garlands and red cloth surround him, with red and white flowers behind.

Rudraksha bands circle his upper arm and wrist. He holds a small object in both hands while seated on a silver-ornamented throne draped with red, yellow and white floral garlands. Behind him are a microphone stand, a dark stone figure with a red shawl, and a silver vessel in the foreground beside a carved wooden stick. The scene appears to be a ritual session in a temple-like hall with red and orange drapery.2017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20172017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20 +1 copiesDecember 20 20172017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20A photograph of a seated figure on a silver-backed throne during a ritual session, with garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves framing the seat. The seated man wears a leopard-print cloth, a red dhoti, dense rudraksha malas, a bead bracelet, a ceremonial gold necklace and a red-and-white forehead mark with a red tilak. His hair is long and swept back, and a small crown-like ornament sits on his head. He bows his head while holding a small object in his hands near a brass vessel. Behind him a dark stone deity murti is draped in red and gold cloth, with a microphone stand at right and orange sacred cloth at the lower right. The figure is a probable Swamiji in person, based on the crown, long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial adornment.2017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20December 20 20172017-12-20
