A photograph of a man seated cross-legged on a striped woven mat before an ornate golden throne-like shrine. He wears a saffron-orange draped cloth, layered beaded necklaces and a long gold pendant, with a tilak on his forehead and bangles on his wrists, and holds a golden staff with a finial. Behind him stands an elaborate golden arch with carved panels, and a seated figure in an orange-gold garment and crown occupies the throne, flanked by two attendant figures with dark bodies and ornate jewellery. Brass oil lamps stand beside the dais. The setting suggests a staged ceremonial darshan at an ashram hall. Printed copyright text appears in the lower right corner. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange ceremonial dress, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and ceremonial gold pendant, seated as the central figure in the ceremony.

The seated man wears layered beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, has a tilak on his forehead and holds a small brass bell-like object in each hand. A tall pink-and-white trident stands beside him, with brass oil lamps flanking the scene. Gold bells hang from above.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +2 copiesA photograph of a seated man on an ornate golden stage. He wears an orange-brown robe draped over one shoulder, a tiered rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, with bangles on his arms and a red-and-white tilak. His hair is long and swept back, and his right hand rests on a golden lion-like armrest while a tiger-patterned cloth lies beneath him. Behind him, two seated figures and a central deity murti sit under a gilded arch with a crown and peacock-feather style backdrop. A tall trident stands at left, golden lamp stands flank the stage, and a golden animal figure sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, gold pendant and saffron-orange robes are the qualifying cues, and he is presented as the central figure on the throne.2017-04-30 +1 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copiesA seated man in copper-orange robes sits on a golden ceremonial dais in front of an ornate golden shrine, with a tiger-striped cloth draped over his lap. He wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace, bangles, a red tilak on his forehead and a crown-like headdress. Beside him rests a gilded lion figure and a tall pink-and-white staff, with brass oil lamps flanking the stage. Behind him sit two gold-clad deity figures under a golden arch with cobra-hood motifs. A person with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads fits the presentation cues, but the face is not clearly enough visible to confirm, so the identity is uncertain.2017-04-30 +2 copiesApril 30 20172017-04-30 +1 copies
