A standing figure in an orange saffron robe with an orange-and-gold beaded mala stands on a stage with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, facing a large ornate golden throne (peetha) with dark red velvet cushions and a golden canopy above. Beside the throne is a wooden book stand, a small brass bowl, a golden footstool, and a microphone on a stand. Red and orange draped tables flank the throne, with bouquets of yellow, pink and red flowers in the foreground and on the right. Behind the stage a projection screen shows a colourful image, and a pattered wall hanging with animal motifs covers the backdrop. A softbox light stands at left. The standing figure appears to be a sannyasi or devotee greeting the empty throne.

November 15 20072007-11-15A figure in a flowing orange-saffron robe and wrap with long dark hair and a red bindi walks across a stage with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Behind him stands an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, a gold canopy above it, and a dark maroon velvet seat cushion with an orange cloth draped over it. Red-and-gold cloth covers the side tables, which hold vases of red and white carnations and palm fronds. A red banner with partial lettering hangs at the top edge, and a plain grey wall forms the backdrop.2009-10-18December 25 20082008-12-25 +1 copiesOctober 04 20082008-10-04October 04 20082008-10-04October 04 20082008-10-04November 15 20072007-11-15November 15 20072007-11-15September 30 20082008-09-30October 19 20082008-10-19A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a golden canopy and umbrella, on a raised orange-carpeted stage. The seated person wears an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and has hands pressed together in greeting. A microphone stand is in front of the throne, with brass oil lamps on either side and a stage backdrop printed with a temple pillar scene. A dark blue curtain hangs at left. Appearance-based cues are a shaved-headed monastic in saffron with a mala, but the face and hair are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is an uncertain candidate.2011-01-29December 25 20082008-12-25
