A photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne with lion-shaped armrests and a leopard-print cushion, before a large heart-shaped backdrop covered in mirror work, green, red, yellow and blue patterning and marigold garlands. The seated person wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red shawl over the shoulders, a long gold-beaded necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds an open booklet while smiling. Three kneeling devotees in front, including a woman in a yellow sari and a woman in a white top with a red-bordered shawl, lean forward with hands joined in reverence, and one devotee's head is bowed with marigold garlands. Behind on the left, a priest in white dhoti with gold border and bare upper body holds papers and a ceremonial staff, with more people standing in the background near red curtains.

January 03 20162016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03 +1 copiesA seated figure on a gold-covered throne (peetha) in front of a large heart-shaped backdrop of marigold and yellow flowers framed by ornate embroidered panels. The central figure wears a red-orange turban with a white ornament, a red-orange robe, a gold ceremonial necklace with a large gold pendant, a long rudraksha-style mala and a lavender-and-white flower garland, and has long dark hair swept down the back; the appearance is a probable match for a person, seated in a role of honoured guest. A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with a gold border and a bare-chested attendant in red-and-gold cloth stand at left; the priest pours or offers something into the seated figure's hands from a vessel. A golden lion figure sits at right beside a microphone stand and a gold kalasha-style lamp stand.2016-01-03A seated figure in a rust-red turban with a round jewelled brooch, rust-red robe and a heavy gold bead necklace with a brown cord sits on a leopard-print throne cushion. He holds a folded white cloth in both hands. Behind him is an ornate heart-shaped backdrop of gemstone-like inlay in red, blue, green and white, framed by yellow and red marigold garlands. Golden lion heads flank the seat, and a gold staff leans at the left. At left edge, a bare-chested attendant in saffron-orange dhoti holds a rudraksha mala and white cloth. Probable Swamiji by appearance: the swept-back long hair, turban, saffron-toned robes, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala qualify him as an in-person candidate seated in a throne setting.2016-03-27A seated figure on an ornate heart-shaped throne decorated with silver-embellished panels, red, yellow and marigold floral arrangements, and golden lion-head armrests with leopard-print cushions. The central figure wears a rust-red turban with a round brooch, a rudraksha mala and layered gold and bead necklaces over a white and marigold garland, and a rust-red wrap, and holds a red apple in one hand while smiling. Swamiji (probable) is described by his throne and ceremonial cues: the turban, rudraksha and gold necklaces. A man in a grey striped shirt and dark trousers stands to the left holding fruit, a child stands beside him, and a person in a pale yellow shirt bends forward in the foreground. Other attendants in white and saffron clothing stand in the background.2016-03-27January 03 20162016-01-03 +1 copiesJanuary 03 20162016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03Photo 11701239 +2 copiesMarch 27 20162016-03-27A photo of a seated figure on an ornate throne being honoured with flowers.
