A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a Gurupoornima event. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a red shawl draped over the seat, sits on an ornate gold throne with a large gold-framed back and floral garlands in red and white. Behind the throne, four painted sadhu statues in orange and white stand against a painted rock-and-forest backdrop. A devotee in white clothes bows or touches the throne's base, while a man in white stands at left with hands folded in namaste. A trident leans against the stage at left. Two women in white and orange attend at right beside floral-decorated pillars and brass pots. Blue carpeting covers the platform.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold and red throne, wearing a white and red floral garland and a long rudraksha mala. A gold trident stands at left and gold throne lions flank the seat. Before the throne, a saffron-robed man bends forward over an offering table laden with fruit, flowers and a bowl, while two women in orange and maroon saris sit at the right and a saffron-robed attendant sits at left. Flower arrangements and white lamps decorate the stage with a painted rock-and-foliage backdrop. The central figure has long hair, distinctive rudraksha and gold adornments, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the identification is probable.2009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a ceremonial puja on a blue-draped stage before a lush painted backdrop of trees and rock.
