A photograph of a ceremony on a golden throne. A seated man with long dreadlocked hair, white forehead markings and a rust-red robe with a gold necklace sits before a large ornate golden backdrop, with a leopard-print cushion behind him. Beside him stands a young attendant in orange turban and orange cloth, bare-chested with white body markings and rudraksha beads, extending one hand with gold grains or flowers over a polished silver bowl set on a green leaf. A single figure is visible in the background panel with a golden deity murti.

A seated man in a rust-orange shawl, with a white forehead mark and a long rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, receives a handful of yellow offering from a kneeling man on the left. That kneeling man wears orange cloth, has his bare upper body marked with white ash stripes, and has a bead bracelet, a topknot and a beard. A silver bowl with yellow offering sits on a green leaf in front of the seated man. A silver lion figure stands beside the throne. A helper in orange and a person in yellow appear at the right edge. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure shows long hair, a rudraksha mala, a gold necklace and a rust-orange shawl, and a Swamiji (probable) candidate is seated on the silver throne.2018-01-08A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe and red-brown shawl on a large gold ornate throne with a red cushion, his long braided hair falling over his shoulders and a red tilak on his forehead.

A golden trident and yellow cloth are visible behind, with a brass fan in the background. The scene suggests a ritual offering.2016-11-11 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual offering in a gold-ornamented hall. A seated man in red-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala, with a white forehead mark and red bindu, leans forward on a gold and red throne, extending a handful of yellow powder. Before him stands a young boy in orange cloth and a white sacred thread, shoulders marked with white paste, reaching out to receive it. A large silver bowl of yellow powder sits at the seated man's feet. Behind them are gold carved panels with animal motifs and a gold-framed throne back.
