A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, garlanded with marigold and rose strands, feet bare on a red footstool. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward, with a folded paper in hand, toward the seated figure while a woman in white and orange stands at the side. A line of men in shirts and trousers waits to the left, and two women in white saris and shawls stand on the right beside a flower-decorated table with a red cloth. The seated figure's role is a presiding teacher; by the page's account the scene is a yoga-programme pada-puja. Appearance-based cues in this image (saffron robe, gold throne, garland) are present but the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.2009-08-26A seated man in an orange saffron robe with a red-and-maroon border sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands clasped in his lap. He wears a long rudraksha mala and a sandalwood-marked forehead, with bare arms and a gold armband. Before him, two men in white ritual cloth kneel at a gold tray of pink flowers and lit incense sticks, one with hands in anjali. Two women in orange saris kneel on the right, one offering a flower, the other with palms joined. Behind is a gold-trimmed drape and a cluster of flowers. a person: long rudraksha mala, saffron robe and gold throne cues.2011-02-28A seated figure in an orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, decorated with marigold and rose garlands. A man in a white shirt and jeans bows forward, pressing his head toward the seated man's hands while the seated man rests a hand on his head, in a blessing gesture. Beside them, a woman in a white sari with a gold border watches, and other men stand at left and right, one in an orange garment. The background shows a red and gold patterned wall hanging and gold lamps overhead. A throne-side devotional blessing is depicted. a person is the seated figure in orange with a swept-back hairstyle and ceremonial throne setting.2009-08-25May 27 20152015-05-27
