A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-leaf throne with red velvet cushions and a tiger-print seat cover, inside a decorated shrine doorway. He wears a red rudraksha mala, a large ceremonial gold pendant, gold armlets and a red bindi, with long dark hair. Hanging brass oil lamps with lit wicks light the dark wooden wall, and brass standing lamps flank the throne. A man in orange clothes sits with hands folded at the left, and a woman in a white sari with red border kneels with hands joined at the lower right. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, based on his long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala with ornate gold pendant.

February 22 20132013-02-22A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushioned seat, in a temple hall with blue and red painted walls. The seated man wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala with a silver ceremonial necklace, armlets, and a forehead tilak; long hair falls to his shoulders. Behind him hang strings of small oil lamps and dark beads. In the foreground at left, a bald, saffron-robed attendant with bare shoulders holds a lit oil lamp aarti toward him, and brass lamps stand on either side. A red-and-cream carpet lies before the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial silver necklace and saffron clothing fit the candidate's appearance, so this is a probable in-person depiction of him receiving aarti.2013-01-28February 17 20132013-02-17February 22 20132013-02-22 +1 copiesFebruary 17 20132013-02-17January 28 20132013-01-28March 18 20132013-03-18January 31 20132013-01-31A seated man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back and red velvet cushions, in front of a dark wall hung with strings of beads and lit by several hanging brass oil lamps. He wears a rudraksha mala, a large silver-and-bead necklace, arm bands and wristbands, and a sandalwood tilak on his forehead, with long hair. To the left, a shaved-headed attendant in a red-brown garment holds a lit brass oil lamp (aarti) toward the throne. Tall brass lamp stands with lit flames flank the throne, and a red patterned rug lies in the foreground.
