A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and two gilded lion sculptures beside him. The figure has long dark matted hair piled on his head, a beard, and white and red forehead markings. He wears an orange-red garment over a bare chest, with rudraksha beads and a gold necklace, and holds his hands in namaskar. Hanging brass bells and strings of lights decorate the scene. Oil lamps burn on a metal tray and a small brass vessel sits on the throne step. A hand at the lower right holds a lit lamp, and another hand at the lower left is near the base of the throne.

March 25 20182018-03-25A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with leopard-print cushions and golden lion sculptures at the armrest and base. The seated man has a tall dark bound hair crown, a short beard, and a white tilak on his forehead. He wears a rust-red shawl over his bare shoulders, a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, and holds his hands together in his lap. Brass bells and hanging oil lamps with small lights decorate the scene, and a silver tray of sweets and offering bowls sits at the right edge. The seated man's appearance matches the probable Swamiji cues of tall swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and rust-saffron shawl, and he sits on a throne, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable) in the throne setting.2018-03-25March 25 20182018-03-25 +1 copiesMarch 25 20182018-03-25 +1 copiesMarch 25 20182018-03-25A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-embossed throne with a leopard-print cushion, flanked by gold and silver lion sculptures.

He has a tall dark swept-back hair bun, white tilak on forehead, and sits with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him stands a large polished silver lion sculpture, another gold lion behind, and hanging brass bells with string decorations. A brass oil lamp and kalasha-like vessel sit on a tray at left. In the foreground, a hand holds a small lit oil lamp and marigold garlands lie on a platter at lower right. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, rudraksha malas, and swept-back hair with ceremonial throne match the page's Swamiji reference, so the seated figure is labelled as him with uncertain appearance-based identity.2018-03-25
