A seated woman in a maroon sari with a gold border and white floral garland sits on a red cushioned throne, a gold lion-shaped armrest in front. A man in a light grey striped shirt and glasses bends forward, hands pressed together, and leans his forehead toward her as she places her hand on his head in blessing. Behind them stand devotees in white clothes with orange and rudraksha-style malas, and a garlanded deity murti with orange marigold garlands hangs above a golden torana. Banana plant leaves and a fruit offering sit on a brass plate at the lower right.

Behind them stands a golden deity murti draped with a multicoloured flower garland, with banana leaves, marigold garlands and golden peetha-style seats framing the scene. Several women in white and maroon saris and saffron-trimmed robes with rudraksha or orange garlands stand nearby, with brass trays of offerings on the floor. The figure seated on the throne has long hair and ornate gold jewellery, which may be a qualifying appearance cue; the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2014-08-29August 27 20142014-08-27 +1 copiesAugust 27 20142014-08-27 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure on a red throne with gold carved armrests, wearing a rust-red robe with gold border, white floral garland and a large beaded yellow necklace, with a tilak on the forehead, smiling and raising a hand in blessing. Before the throne a kneeling man in white shirt and white dhoti holds pink fruit in his hands. Behind them stand a woman in an orange sari and an older woman in an orange-saffron robe with hands in anjali, along with several women in white and red-bordered saris. Marigold garlands hang on pillars and a deity murti decorated with flowers stands in the background, with a kalasha-style setting and banana leaves. A small plate of fruit sits in the foreground.2014-08-29A seated man in a red-maroon robe with a bare upper body, wearing a long garland of gold-coloured beads, sits on a red upholstered throne with gilded lion-head armrest and holds a red-orange fruit in one hand while touching the forehead of a kneeling man in a pink shirt with palms pressed together. Behind them, a woman in white with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a rust-brown sari with a beaded necklace stand on a red carpet; a woman in a cream sari with folded hands and a child in pink stand nearby. The setting is an indoor hall with a split air-conditioner and a red wooden lattice screen. Seated figure appearance is uncertain, so the role is given as a seated teacher on a throne.2014-08-30April 23 20132013-04-23 +2 copiesA seated figure in an orange-red robe with gold ornamental necklaces and a white forehead mark sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved lion and golden lion-head armrests, extending a hand in blessing onto the bald head of a bowed older man in a maroon vest over white shirt and trousers. A line of women stands behind on a red carpet; a woman in white wears a rudraksha mala and holds a folded paper, another in an orange sari and rust-brown shawl wears a mala, and a woman in white with a red-orange garland waits in line. Fruit (apples) and a small bowl sit on a tray before the throne. Pillars and a wall air conditioner appear in the background. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, orange robe, ornate gold necklaces, throne), so this is a probable in-person event.
