A crowded photograph of a devotee event in front of an ornate golden throne decorated with floral garlands and flower-patterned banners. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing saffron-orange robes, a red bindi and layered gold-beaded garlands, smiles and reaches toward a devotee. A younger orange-robed attendant with a shaved head and garland leans in beside the throne holding a brass bowl. Devotees crowd around, including a man in a blue striped shirt and an older man in white dhoti with a white cloth in his hand. A white pedestal fan stands in the background. The seated figure's cues (long hair, saffron robes, gold garlands on a throne) are consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated in darshan giving blessings to devotees.2008-07-17Photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair seated on an ornate gold throne-like chair against a bright green wall.
