A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, smiling and holding a microphone in one hand while his other hand rests in a silver bowl of yellowish food. He wears a rust-red shawl over a red-brown robe, a red tilak mark on his forehead, and a gold necklace with rudraksha-style beads. Behind him stand gilded sculptures including a figure holding a trident-topped staff and a gold lamp stand. A person's arm reaches in from the left edge, holding a small portion of the food.

May 08 20172017-05-08 +1 copiesA seated man in a rust-red and orange robe sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion, a gold-and-red backrest behind him. He has long dark hair, a full beard, a white sacred-ash marking with a red tilak on his forehead, and a thick gold chain necklace. He holds a microphone in his left hand while his right hand scoops yellow food from a large white decorated bowl in his lap. Behind him stands a golden deity murti holding a lamp, next to a golden trident and a brass lamp stand. The appearance matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing, presented as the officiant of the maheshwara puja offering food for ancestors.2017-05-08A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, wearing rust-red saffron robes and a rust-red shawl, with a bare upper body and gold chain necklaces. He has white and red markings on his forehead and is holding a microphone in his right hand while his left hand is pressed into a large white and gold bowl filled with grain or food, with his eyes closed. Behind him stands a gold-coloured statue of a female deity with a crown and jewellery, and a gold trident stands at left beside a gold lion figure. The setting suggests a ritual offering. A man with long hair and a seated throne matches the presentation cues, so this is a person depiction in an in-person ceremony.2017-05-08A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion smiles while his hands rest in a large white and gold bowl of food.
