A seated man in a golden-backed red throne receives a ceremonial pouring from an attendant in an orange turban and orange shawl. The seated man has long swept-back hair with a leopard-print headband, wears a maroon wrap, a gold-chained necklace, a jewelled armlet and rudraksha-style beads, and a yellow-and-white garland with red flowers is draped over his shoulders. An attendant holds a clear glass-patterned kalasha of water with mango leaves and a brass vessel, while a trident stands beside the throne. Other attendants in orange and white are visible in the background during what appears to be a ritual abhishekam setting.

August 25 20172017-08-25A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, draped in marigold and multicolour flower garlands, wearing a leopard-print headwrap, rust-brown dhoti and a gold chain, with a silver trident placed beside him. He holds a woven white basket containing green leaves as a young attendant in an orange turban and orange cloth, with rudraksha beads and white sandalwood markings on his bare chest, offers it to him. Another attendant and a few figures in white stand in the background of a pillared hall. The seated man has a Swamiji (probable) appearance based on the long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, and the ceremonial throne with garlands, and he is the central figure of the ritual.2017-08-25August 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual abhishekam-style ceremony indoors. A man seated on a golden-backed red throne with a trident-topped staff beside him wears a leopard-print headband, a maroon-brown dhoti-style garment, gold armlets and a long garland of yellow marigolds, white flowers and pink blooms. His hands rest on the garland. To the right, a young attendant in an orange turban and orange shawl, with rudraksha malas, holds a clear pot with green leaves and pours from it. Other figures in orange and white stand behind in the background. The seated man's appearance is consistent with a presentation the page associates with a person, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.2017-08-25August 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copiesAugust 25 20172017-08-25August 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copiesA seated man in a dark maroon-brown dhoti and wrap sits on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold back.
