A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne being anointed on the forehead by a standing priest in orange robes. The seated figure wears a rust-red turban, layered gold and beaded necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold armbands and a red-brown robe. The standing priest, with glasses and a shaved head, leans in with white ash on his fingers. A painted backdrop shows a palm tree, a sunset and a temple tower. A bald attendant in white with glasses sits at left, and a gold-trimmed cushion and red fabric are at the right edge. The scene resembles a ritual blessing or anointing ceremony.2015-10-22A photograph of a devotee in a peach-coloured dhoti and shawl with a long dark beard, vibhuti tripundra on his forehead and a mala on his wrist, bowing forward to touch the forehead of a seated figure. The seated figure wears a rust-red turban, a saffron-and-gold garment, an orange marigold garland, gold bangles and a rudraksha-style necklace, and sits before an ornate gold throne with carved relief. A brass oil lamp stands beside them against a pink and red cosmic backdrop. The bowing devotee and the seated person are both physically present. The seated figure has a distinctive turban and ceremonial garlanding, but the appearance is not conclusive, so the candidate is uncertain.2015-10-26July 09 20152015-07-09A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange head cloth sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved, shell-shaped back, and a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads at his chest. A man in white kurta stands before him, hand raised, touching his own forehead near the seated man's head in a gesture of reverence. Garlands of yellow and purple flowers frame the throne, and a woman in a yellow garment stands at the left edge beside gold lion-head armrests. The setting suggests a satsang or darshan stage with a teal and green backdrop.2009-12-07October 25 20152015-10-25August 22 20152015-08-22July 17 20162016-07-17 +1 copiesA smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace sits before an ornate gold and red throne backdrop with a red bindi on his forehead.
