A man seated on the throne wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and is bare-footed, with long swept-back hair; his appearance is consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a teaching role. Below him, several seated devotees in white clothes wear orange lanyards and face the throne, with brass-and-silver offering plates of flowers and sweets arranged on a golden table in front. Brass hanging oil lamps and bells stand beside the throne, and an ornate old wooden door with gold leaf is on the left.2013-05-13May 13 20132013-05-13July 22 20132013-07-22A seated man in a golden ornate throne with a carved lion base receives worship from a group of women devotees. He wears an orange-brown robe with a yellow border, a long red and white flower garland, and a multi-strand beaded necklace, and sits with his hands resting on the armrests. Women in white and orange-trimmed clothing, one with a bindi and a dark-toned sari, sit around a low golden table holding brass thalis with flower petals, kumkum, fruit and oil lamps, performing puja. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells surround the throne against a black wall beside a wall-mounted air conditioner. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has swept-back hair, a red and white garland, an orange-saffron robe and ornate gold throne cues, and is seated as the central figure receiving worship.2013-05-25May 25 20132013-05-25May 15 20132013-05-15September 14 20132013-09-14July 28 20172017-07-28May 13 20132013-05-13A photograph of a ritual in a small black-walled room.

Around him, devotees in red and orange shawls, a woman in a blue top and a man in white sit and offer silver trays of flowers, red petals and fruit, while hands reach toward the trays.
