A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and multiple rudraksha malas sits on a gold-carved throne with red velvet bolsters, holding a silver box with both hands while looking down at it. A man with his back to the camera, wearing a white dhoti with gold border, faces him. Red curtains and gilded throne carvings form the backdrop. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, tripundra marks, and a ceremonial gold necklace, cues consistent with a Swamiji (probable) appearance, shown in an in_person setting.

August 19 20172017-08-19August 19 20172017-08-19 +1 copiesPhotograph of an initiation setting with a gold-carved throne-style seat and a red curtain behind. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a sacred ash mark on the forehead, saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, multiple gold and silver beaded necklaces, and a rudraksha mala holds a small silver vessel on his lap. Seated facing him on the right, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and white shawl, with a sacred ash mark, kneels before him beside red velvet cushions. The scene suggests a ritual exchange; the seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces.2017-08-22October 29 20102010-10-29A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads wears an orange saffron wrap, rudraksha beads, a gold ceremonial necklace with a central pendant, and a white tilak on the forehead, with long dreadlocked hair falling down his back. Across from him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and sacred thread kneels with palms pressed together in reverence. A gold lion sculpture stands at the right edge and a red velvet cushion rests near the throne, with a red curtain behind. The scene appears to be a mandala-style initiation ceremony. The seated figure is a person candidate based on dreadlocks, saffron clothing, rudraksha and gold necklace cues, seated in the presence-of-honour role on the throne.2017-08-22September 14 20092009-09-14December 31 20112011-12-31May 19 20132013-05-19A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, eyes closed, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved gilt arms and red velvet cushions.

Behind them are a red-and-white striped wall, a carved stone shrine, an orange cloth hanging, and a wet tiled floor.

The seated man has swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, and holds the mala beads in one hand. A gilded pillar and a yellow fabric panel appear at the left edge of the frame. The seated figure matches a person by his saffron clothing, rudraksha mala, and the throne, so the person is in_person, and the devotee is a white-clad devotee.2010-08-07October 07 20122012-10-07
