November 24 20152015-11-24November 18 20152015-11-18February 26 20132013-02-26A seated man sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a rounded back, draped with a tiger-skin rug and dark red cushions. He wears a red-and-orange turban, a saffron-orange garment over red trousers, and a long ceremonial necklace with a gold pendant and rudraksha beads. Gold oil lamps flank the throne, with a golden trident leaning beside it, and a purple backdrop shows a deity murti of Durga-like form within a painted scene. A red mat lies on the wooden stage floor. The appearance of the seated figure is consistent with the a person cues of turban, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold, but the page does not state he is at this event, so the identification is uncertain.2015-08-07A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban, orange robe with yellow border and a long beaded necklace sits on a golden ornate throne with a carved gold backrest and golden lion-head armrests before a dark red velvet curtain. He holds a tray of offerings with yellow fruit and flower petals while a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe with yellow border, glasses and a wristband kneels and presents a plate of flowers and food, a microphone stand beside them. The seated man has a distinctive turban and ornate necklace, so this is a person seen in person on a dais.2015-09-05February 21 20162016-02-21 +2 copiesA golden ornate throne with lion-head armrests and a tiger-skin cushion dominates the scene. A man seated on the throne wears a red-orange robe, a gold crown, a white and pink flower garland, and gold necklaces and bangles, with a gold ritual staff beside him. A man in a light blue shirt with a red shawl kneels with palms pressed together before the throne, and another person stands at the right holding papers. Behind them stand a golden kalasha-style lamp stand, a red and yellow fringed canopy, and carved golden pillars with lion motifs. This is a pada puja setting with a devotee kneeling at the feet of the seated figure.2016-05-24A photograph of a devotee in an orange-and-gold dhoti prostrating on the floor in front of an ornate gold throne (peetha) draped with a tiger-skin cloth and red velvet cushions. A small silver plate holding yellow turmeric or kumkum sits on a red mat before him, with a rudraksha mala on his wrist. Seated on the throne is a figure in a red turban and a white garland with a red-and-white flower garland, which I cannot confirm as a person from appearance alone; I describe the throne occupant only by role. Behind the throne is a standing fan and a white-and-red striped wall.2015-11-18October 16 20152015-10-16August 22 20152015-08-22July 20 20152015-07-20A man sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a carved arched back and two golden lion sculptures flanking the seat, draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth. He wears a maroon-red turban with a gold trim, a deep red-orange robe over a gold-bordered cloth, and a long rudraksha mala hanging to his chest, with his hands clasped in his lap and bare feet visible. A microphone is clipped near his face. Behind him, large banners show a smiling face in orange and a temple with a carved stone sculpture. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a red turban, rudraksha mala and red-orange robes on a golden peetha, consistent with the page's identification.2013-12-09
