Ceremonial scene in a temple-style hall. A seated man in a maroon-red turban and reddish-brown robe, wearing layered garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers, has both hands raised to his head. Beside him stands a long-haired young man with dreadlocks, bare-chested with white ash markings, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and carrying a small offering in his hands. The seat is an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and a carved lion-shaped armrest, with silver staffs flanking it. Behind, a decorated pillar with green and red bands.

He wears a rust-orange saffron wrap over bare shoulders, a gold chain, and a horizontal white band with a red bindi on his forehead, hands clasped in his lap. A silver staff with a finial stands at the left. Behind him, a large red and silver backdrop shows gopuram-like temple architecture. Swamiji (probable): the saffron wrap, long hair and gold necklace are consistent with the page's Swamiji attribution, and he sits in the seat of honour.2017-09-26 +1 copiesOctober 19 20172017-10-19A photo of a seated guru in a rust-orange turban and bare-shouldered rust-and-gold garment, with rudraksha beads around his neck, placing his right hand on the forehead of a standing devotee in a white kurta and orange shawl with hands joined in namaskar. A gold throne with carved ornament and a deep red backdrop frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, given turban, rudraksha mala and ornate clothing cues; the devotee is receiving blessing.2015-10-25A seated man in a dark red-brown robe and matching turban sits on an ornate silver throne carved with floral and scrollwork, with leopard-print cushions. He wears long garlands of red and white flowers and a purple flower garland at his waist, and a small bindi on his forehead. In front of him a bare-chested attendant in saffron-orange cloth and turban, with gold armlets and a white beaded necklace, presents a tray with papers or offerings. Silver staffs stand on either side of the throne and a silver lion figure sits at its base. The backdrop is a painted stage set with orange and green pillars. This appears to be a stage-set discourse or ceremonial scene. The seated man is a candidate for a person, based on the throne setting, garlands and red-brown robe, though his appearance is only partially distinctive.2017-11-17October 12 20172017-10-12October 19 20172017-10-19
