A photograph of a ceremonial scene indoors under warm reddish light. A figure seated on an ornate gilded throne wears a large black turban, a red-and-gold wrap, a pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, with a red tilak on the forehead. Behind the throne, two standing attendants in rudraksha malas and dark red and saffron cloth look on, and a fringed canopy hangs above. In the foreground, a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti offers a flower to the seated figure, while a man in a yellow shawl with a red turban sits with folded hands, and a white fan and water bottle stand nearby. Scattered flower petals and offerings lie on a rug.

March 06 20162016-03-06A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved peacock-style backrest sits with eyes closed in a red-walled room. He wears a tall black turban, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, a long gold necklace with a large gold pendant and a floral garland of pink and white flowers. Beside him a bare-chested man in a yellow cloth and layered beads sits on the floor, and a standing attendant in a red robe and striped gold dhoti stands behind a small table with a water bottle. A seated man in a yellow and white dhoti sits at the right, and a white electric fan stands against the wall. The figure on the throne matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of a turban, ornate gold ceremonial jewellery and a garland, so this is presented as a probable identification from appearance only.2016-03-06 +1 copiesMarch 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesMarch 06 20162016-03-06 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial ritual inside a room with dark red walls.
