August 20 20142014-08-20A man with a white vibhuti marking on his forehead sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests, draped in a tiger-striped cushion. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a long rudraksha mala, and his feet rest on a silver tray of flowers and yellow marigold-like petals. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps surround the throne against a black backdrop. Two silver plates of offerings sit at the bottom right, with a small figure partly visible at the lower edge. The setting suggests a ritual or satsang scene.2013-10-04August 29 20142014-08-29A seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with a carved lion-head armrest and a striped tiger-skin cloth draped over the seat. The seated person wears an orange-red and yellow ochre garment with a long white floral garland, has a tilak on the forehead, and is bare-footed. Hanging brass oil lamps (dipa) with lit flames surround the throne, and a metal tray of offerings with red flowers and small cups sits at the lower left. A man in a white shirt with a red thread kneels at the base of the throne, facing the seated figure. The seated figure has short hair with no long swept-back hair, crown, or rudraksha mala visible, so identity is uncertain; the seat and tiger skin alone do not establish identity.2014-08-20May 11 20132013-05-11A seated man on a gilded throne with leopard-print cushions and golden lion-head armrests, wearing a red-orange dhoti and shawl, a long golden garland, bangles, and a golden crown with a matching headpiece. He is barefoot, with one foot resting on a flower-garlanded tiger-striped cloth at the base of the throne, and a long dark braid falls over his shoulder. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells hang above him against a black wall. In the lower right, a bare-chested attendant with white tripundra marks sits with folded hands before brass plates of offerings. The scene suggests a darshan or puja setting.2017-07-23A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion, wearing an orange-brown robe with a gold border and a red-and-white garland of flowers. Behind him hang brass bells and oil lamps from chains, and a wall-mounted air conditioner is visible. Beside him, a man in white with a red shawl and another in white kneel near brass plates of flowers and offerings, while a woman in an orange sari and glasses sits at right. Several hands reach toward a tray of flower petals and small brass cups at the front. Appearance-based candidate: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron-orange robes with long hair and a garland; his presence is identified from appearance cues only.2013-05-25August 20 20142014-08-20May 11 20132013-05-11June 26 20132013-06-26May 05 20132013-05-05September 05 20132013-09-05 +1 copies
