A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a tiger-skin cushion, wearing a maroon-red robe, a long garland of white jasmine and red roses, a gold necklace with a large pendant, gold armlets and a white tilak on the forehead. Their right hand rests on the head of a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti and white head cloth who bows low before the throne. A second man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and sandalwood markings stands at left, hand on the devotee's back. A gold staff and red-and-green tasselled canopy frame the scene. The seated figure has long, swept-back hair and a beard; the throne-side blessing suggests a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving obeisance, with cues of long hair, ceremonial gold necklace and ornate maroon robe.2017-06-08June 08 20172017-06-08July 08 20172017-07-08 +1 copiesJune 08 20172017-06-08July 08 20172017-07-08A seated man in a maroon-red robe and matching red-brown turban sits on an ornate golden throne with a large fan-shaped back and red cushions. He wears a long garland of lavender and white flowers, a gold necklace and a large gold pendant, and his eyes are closed in a calm, meditative expression. Beside him, a shirtless devotee in a white dhoti with a white cloth tied at the head bends forward while another man in a white dhoti and sacred thread stands behind, one hand on the devotee's back, apparently performing a blessing or padapuja-style ritual. Behind them hang gold and maroon silk drapes and a tall brass lamp stands at right.2017-07-08A seated man in a rust-red robe with a long rudraksha mala draped to his lap sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lions and floral scrollwork, smiling and gesturing with his right hand. A tiger-striped cloth covers the throne base, and a red cushion sits behind him. Before him, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a red border bows low and reaches toward him in ritual homage. To the left, a young man in saffron-orange robes and a gold chain necklace stands watching, with red bangles on his wrist. The setting is a golden-throne ceremony, consistent with a padapuja or honouring ritual.2016-05-24June 08 20172017-06-08A seated man in rust-red saffron-toned robes wears a heavy gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant, a gold waist belt, red rudraksha bracelets on his arms, and a white tilak on his forehead. He sits on a red and silver throne, his right hand resting on the upper back of a kneeling young man who bows his head forward. A second robed attendant in white dhoti with rudraksha malas stands at the left edge, and a silver lion figure sits on the floor near the throne in a temple-like setting with gold ornaments in the background. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and pendant, and saffron robes, seated in a ceremonial blessing with a kneeling devotee.2017-10-01June 08 20172017-06-08 +1 copiesNovember 17 20172017-11-17June 08 20172017-06-08
