A seated figure in a rust-red turban and saffron-toned clothing sits on a gold-carved throne, wearing layered flower garlands in white, red and pink, gold bangles and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds an orange out toward a man. The man in a white shirt bends forward to receive it, with his hands cupped. Before them are a clay pot with a green plant, a small stone arrangement, and a white-and-orange staff. Behind is a red velvet backdrop, with more garlanded floral offerings at the top edge. The figure has distinctive ornate adornments and ceremonial dress consistent with a sannyasi-style presentation, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.2015-04-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual scene in front of a golden shrine with garlanded deity images.

Before them, a wooden tray holds oranges, sugarcane pieces and rudraksha beads. Behind is a golden throne and a deity murti draped in garlands. Three devotees in white and red bend low before a cluster of rough stones and potted green plants on green artificial turf, one man in a striped shirt and a woman in a red shawl among them. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a turban, saffron-toned ornate dress, floral garland and rudraksha mala, with a golden throne behind, so the appearance supports the page's attribution; the figure is seated in a ritual setting receiving devotees, the context of a satsang or puja.2015-04-25 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, red-orange robe and a red and white beaded mala, extending a hand in blessing toward a bald, white-bearded elderly man in white who kneels with his head bowed. Two women in red and gold silk saris stand beside him, one with hands in anjali. A third woman in pale pink with an orange-bordered shawl joins her palms at the right. Behind them are a golden deity murti draped in green cloth, garlanded with yellow and red marigold and a gold-embellished backdrop. Potted green plants and rough stones surround the kneeling man. The seated figure has long hair and a bare shoulder, and a gold chair edge is visible at left. The seated figure matches the presentation cues of a person through the saffron turban, mala and robes, though the appearance is only moderately distinctive.2015-04-22April 19 20152015-04-19February 08 20152015-02-08 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in a rust-orange turban, a red-orange robe, and a long red and white flower garland, with a red-beaded bangle on the wrist, smiling as they hand an orange to a kneeling man in a cream shirt with an orange lanyard. Oranges and small packets sit in a wooden tray in front, and green potted plants, a rock and a green mat fill the setting. Behind them, a standing woman in white and a man in a white robe with a rudraksha mala watch, and a yellow altar draped with garlands is visible.2015-01-30A seated person in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe, wearing red rudraksha-style beaded garlands and gold ornaments on the neck and arms, smiles while receiving a yellow fruit from an older man in a white kurta with an orange-red shawl who bends forward with hands extended. Behind them stands a decorated altar with gold necklaces and a yellow cloth, framed by green leaves and potted plants. A tray of bananas and other offerings sits in the foreground, and two women in white clothes stand at the right edge. The seated person is an appearance-based candidate for a person, with the turban, orange-red robe and multiple beaded garlands, but the face and attire are not distinctive enough to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.2015-01-31April 27 20152015-04-27January 30 20152015-01-30
