Behind him stands an ornate silver throne with carved swans and floral motifs against a red backdrop. In front, a bald man in white dhoti and shawl with a yellow border kneels and bows, wearing a rudraksha mala. To the left, an attendant in a yellow-trimmed garment and beaded mala holds a tray of offerings. The scene suggests a ceremonial initiation at the throne.2017-11-17A seated man in a white turban and cream shawl sits on a golden throne framed by a large arch of marigolds and red roses in yellow, green, red and purple. He wears layered red and white garlands, a rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and a maroon-brown dhoti-style cloth. A young man in white shirt and dhoti bends forward to offer flowers, and an attendant in orange robes stands at right holding a flower garland. Gold and brass ritual vessels, hanging brass bells and floral strands decorate the background. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure receiving the bhiksha offering, with his long hair and ceremonial gold and rudraksha adornments distinguishing him as the central honoured figure.2013-07-22A festive satsang hall with a richly decorated golden throne at center. On the right, a seated figure in a golden crown and orange-brown robes, with a rudraksha-style mala and gold armbands, sits on a gold-trimmed seat holding a ritual object. Behind him, large garlands of marigolds in yellow, orange, red and purple drape a stand. On the left, a deity murti is adorned with flower garlands in multicolour. Devotees sit in front in white dhotis, saffron shawls and women in purple and gold saris; some hold their hands together in devotion. A white draped backdrop and green plants complete the setting. The scene shows a Jayanthi satsang event.2015-01-13A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an ornate gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead, receiving a garland from a devotee. He sits in front of a large display of yellow, purple and pink flowers and petals. A devotee in a white shirt with glasses and a red thread on his wrist holds up a long garland of red and gold beads and flowers, while a second devotee in a white shirt leans in from the left. A forest backdrop is visible behind.2013-01-06A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved golden lion-head armrests and a leopard-print cushion, in an outdoor evening setting. He wears an orange-brown robe, a white-and-maroon bead garland, a rudraksha mala with a bead bracelet, a gold chain, and a white tilak on his forehead; long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Behind him stand attendants in white dhotis and orange-and-white garlands, one holding a ceremonial trident, and a floral backdrop of orange, white and green marigold arrangements. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands match the page's Swamiji claim for this Mahashivaratri event.2017-02-24July 19 20162016-07-19November 18 20152015-11-18
