A seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a temple shrine is holding a silver trident and wearing a red-maroon robe, a multi-coloured flower garland and a gold necklace, with a maroon headcloth. Two women in white kneel before the throne with another person in maroon in front, and a lit oil lamp sits on the floor at lower left beside a tray of offerings. Painted pink and gold guardian figures with crowns flank the doorway, and hanging bells decorate the dark backdrop.2013-11-17November 17 20132013-11-17 +1 copiesA photograph inside a temple doorway shows a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a carved lion-like backrest and a gold canopy above. The figure wears a maroon turban with a gold band, a red robe, a garland of red and white flowers, and ceremonial gold necklaces; the right hand is raised in blessing and the left holds a silver trident. Below, a person in a maroon robe is seen from behind in a pada puja, and two women in white sit at the base offering flames from oil lamps. Brass hanging lamps and bells hang from the ceiling, and the frame is decorated with painted deity figures.

He wears a maroon turban, a maroon robe, a gold necklace and a pink and white flower garland, and holds a brass handbell. Two bare-chested young priests in white dhotis kneel at the base of the throne, one with a saffron cloth on his shoulder, and a woman in dark clothing sits beside them. A gold canopy hangs above the throne, and strings of small lights and brass lamps decorate the frame. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure has a turban, maroon robes and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's account of a pada puja, but the appearance is not conclusive. Setting resembles a temple sanctum with a striped cloth on the floor.2017-05-12A seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) inside a shrine doorway, wearing a maroon-red turban with a jewelled ornament, a rust-red shawl over the body, a long garland of yellow-orange flowers, and a red-gold dhoti border. Above and around the throne hang brass lamps and bead strands under a gold canopy, with a gold kalasha-like finial. Tiger-stripe cushions line the throne. Kneeling at the threshold in the foreground are several devotees: a woman in white with red-and-gold border and a clay/ash mark on her arms holds a silver tray with offerings; an elderly man in white sits beside her; two women in white with a red shawl and a woman in red-maroon garments face the throne. Painted guardian figures in green and pink flank the doorway. Red carpet covers the floor. The seated figure has a distinctive long-haired, turbaned, saffron-clad appearance with a rudraksha-style garland, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) label, seated in darshan on the throne.2014-09-07September 28 20142014-09-28November 17 20132013-11-17 +1 copiesA seated figure in rust-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gilded throne with a tiger-skin cushion, beneath a brass canopy and hanging brass bells and lamps.
