A seated man on an ornate carved wooden throne is covered in heaped white jasmine garlands and orange-red flower petals. He wears a silver crown set with a red stone, a red bindi on his forehead and a white garment with a gold necklace. Hands from the foreground hold a silver multi-wick oil lamp with three lit flames toward him, as aarti is offered. Other flower garlands frame the throne, and a partially visible person stands at the top right. This appears to be a reception or honouring rather than a meditation.2009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23December 29 20102010-12-29A photograph of a seated man on an ornate dark red velvet throne, eyes closed, in a flower-decorated setting. He wears a golden crown with a peacock feather, long swept-back hair, a white shawl with long garlands of white and red flowers, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and a white and gold dhoti. His hands rest on the armrests. The throne is framed by white jasmine and orange-red marigold garlands, carved lion figures and a silver pedestal heaped with flowers. A silver bell and a lamp sit at the lower right, and a small lamp and bowls rest on the white cloth below. The crown, peacock feather, long hair, garlands and rudraksha mala match the a person appearance cues, so this is treated as a probable in-person candidate seated for a birthday celebration.2005-01-01January 06 20132013-01-06 +1 copiesDecember 29 20102010-12-29December 29 20102010-12-29A seated man with long hair sits on a red velvet throne flanked by carved wooden panels, framed by white and orange flower garlands. He wears a gold crown with a peacock feather, a red vermilion mark on his forehead, and a white dhoti with gold border, with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace. His eyes are closed and his palms are pressed together in namaskar. Below him stands a silver pedestal draped with garlands of red and yellow marigolds, with a silver bowl of flowers at the right edge. Another person's white-clad lap and hand appear at the lower corners. The page presents this as Swamiji; the appearance cues are a crown, rudraksha mala, ornate gold and a throne-like seat, so this is a probable candidate.2005-01-01 +1 copiesSeptember 17 20062006-09-17A photograph of a seated man on a dark red velvet throne framed by white and red flower garlands and carved wooden lion-head supports. He wears a gold crown with a peacock feather, a long white garland, white and gold dhoti-style clothing, and a red tilak, his hands pressed together in namaskar with eyes closed. A brass aarti lamp with burning flames is being waved in front of him by a hand at the left edge, and a silver pedestal holds red and pink flower offerings. Pink and yellow petals scatter across the white floor. The scene reads as a ceremonial reception with an aarti.2005-01-01 +2 copies
