A man stands barefoot on a red and gold stepped dais before an ornate gilded throne with a red tiger-striped cushion, beneath a canopy of green leaves and a golden umbrella. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi, an orange shawl and dhoti with gold borders, and a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads. He raises both hands in blessing and smiles. Golden lion figures flank the throne. Behind him to the right, a man in white with a shaved head and orange cloth stands. Visible identifying cues include the saffron turban, ornate ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, with the rest of the scene consistent with a seated-dais ceremony.2015-07-20February 22 20112011-02-22 +1 copiesMay 08 20122012-05-08March 01 20132013-03-01A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a large gold-embossed backrest and red cushions, wearing orange saffron robes draped over his shoulder, a heavy gold bead necklace with a pendant, a red bindi, and a beaded armband, hands folded in his lap.
