December 26 20062006-12-26A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) with gold lion-form armrests, his hands pressed together in namaste with eyes closed and a broad smile. He wears a cream and gold turban, a cream embroidered silk kurta and a white dhoti-style garment with tasselled ends. The throne back and canopy are draped with white and yellow jasmine and marigold garlands, and yellow petals lie on the white cloth below. Behind him is a large red-toned banner showing a close-up of a face with a smiling mouth and closed eyes against a daisy-filled field. Several visible cues (long hair, turban, ornate ceremonial dress, gold ornaments, throne setting) could match a person candidate, but the appearance is uncertain.2006-12-26December 28 20092009-12-28July 07 20092009-07-07 +1 copiesApril 15 20122012-04-15A smiling man seated on a deep red quilted velvet throne adorned with white and orange flower garlands.
