Around him seated on the floor on orange and red mats, several women in yellow, white and green saris and a man in white clothing sit before silver plates and bowls of offerings, some holding small items. A young girl in a blue top and a child in orange sit among them. A white tower fan stands at left beside a wooden carved stand, and dark curtains and a window frame the back of the hall. Swamiji appearance is present on the throne with compatible cues of long hair, saffron clothing and gold necklace, so this is a probable identification in person.2010-10-24 +1 copiesNovember 10 20102010-11-10November 10 20102010-11-10A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, speaking to a group seated on the floor.
