A crown-like headpiece and a multi-strand beaded necklace are visible, and a bull figure with a silver-trimmed saddle lies at his feet. Behind him stands an ornate gold-toned arched shrine and carved gilded panels with hanging bells above. The setting resembles a staged portrayal of a deity murti-style tableau rather than a live gathering. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so no identification is made.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +4 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA standing figure in saffron-orange robes holds a tall staff in the centre of an ornate golden shrine, with a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and ceremonial gold adornments, against a gilded arched backdrop with a golden kalasha-like finial. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps are visible above, and a small bronze animal figure stands at the base. Golden carved panels frame the stage in warm, hazy light. The figure appears to be a statue or life-sized depiction rather than a living person, so no physical people are counted.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA photograph of a lone figure standing on an ornate gold-carved stage in warm, hazy lighting. The figure wears saffron-orange draped cloth, a rudraksha-style mala and a large necklace, with long hair and a forehead mark, and holds a tall staff in one hand while the other is raised. Behind is a gilded arched shrine with carved panels and hanging brass bells, and a small golden figure stands at the right foot. Probable Swamiji, identified by compatible presentation cues: long hair, saffron-orange draped clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklace. The figure is a standing speaker on stage, not seated on a throne.2017-04-30 +1 copiesA life-sized figure stands on a stage in a golden-ornate temple-style setting, holding a tall trident in its right hand and a rudraksha-style necklace of beads and gold pendants on its chest. It wears a rust-orange draped garment with a sash at the waist. Beside it on the stage is a golden kalasha-like vessel with a decorative bull or nandi figure. Hanging brass bells and a soft smoky haze surround the scene, and an arched gold frame with carved panels rises behind. Because this appears to be a statue or depiction rather than a living person, no physical people are counted. The figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30
