A photo of a standing man in a red turban and red-and-orange shawl over white dhoti, barefoot, smiling and raising one hand in blessing beside an ornately decorated golden palanquin. The palanquin is draped with garlands of red, yellow, orange and white flowers and hung with brass bells and tassels in pink, blue and yellow. Seated on it is a deity murti in white and gold garments with a jewelled ornament, flanked by flower garlands. A tripod-mounted light stands at left and a red-and-orange portrait backdrop at right.2011-10-03A seated man in a red and gold brocade kurta and cream dhoti sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-armrests and a red, gold and purple garland draped over its back. He holds a silver-tipped sceptre and wears a gold crown and gold necklaces. Beside him stands a gilded Nandi bull with a green cloth draped across its back, and on it a pair of deity murtis, one white-faced with an orange shawl and one in ornate jewellery, are adorned with garlands in yellow, purple and red.2011-12-15A seated man in a deep maroon turban with a gold-trimmed fan-shaped top and a red bindi sits on a crimson throne draped with a garland of white, yellow, purple and red flowers. He wears a purple garment, a white and yellow flower garland across his chest, a rudraksha-style bead mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, with a gold-and-red bangle on his wrist and a small microphone at his ear. He looks to his right and smiles. Behind him a large floral arch of yellow, purple, red, green and white blossoms frames the seat, and a white bird ornament sits on a silver pole. Blurred behind them stands a painted deity murti with a raised hand and flower garlands. The scene appears to be a pada-puja or satsang setting. Swamiji (probable): the turban, purple and maroon ceremonial garments, rudraksha mala and gold necklace are consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji.2011-12-14 +1 copiesMay 27 20132013-05-27 +2 copiesDecember 14 20112011-12-14March 13 20132013-03-13April 30 20152015-04-30December 15 20112011-12-15A photograph of a seated man at a ceremony, wearing a maroon turban with a gold-edged fan-shaped top, a purple garment with a maroon shawl, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, and a small bindi. He smiles and wears a headset microphone. He sits on a throne covered in red, yellow, white and purple flower garlands, with a deity murti with a raised hand and a staff in the background. Presentation suggests a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the peetha during a pada puja, based on the turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments.2011-12-14A seated man in a golden ornate throne with a golden lion-armrest sits beside a gilded nandi bull, wearing a gold crown, a maroon and gold brocade kurta with a cream dhoti, and multi-strand gold necklaces.

A greenery and flower arrangement hangs at the top right.2011-12-15A man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne draped with a garland arch of red, yellow, green, white and purple flowers. He wears a red turban, a green and gold silk dhoti and wrap with a red border, multiple silver beaded necklaces, and silver armlets, and he smiles while seated. Behind him stand two painted, gold-adorned deity figures with raised arms in a richly coloured temple-style hall with pink and green pillars. A small brass vessel sits beside the throne. A candidate matching the page's Swamiji reference is present, with long hair under a turban, ornate clothing and beaded necklaces; the figure is a presiding seated figure on a throne, consistent with a discourse setting.2011-12-16 +1 copiesA smiling man in red and gold-striped dhoti and red shawl sits on an ornate red throne framed by a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in red, yellow, white, green and purple. He wears a cream turban, a red bindi, gold bangles and a multi-strand garland, and holds a stack of white papers. Behind him stand painted deity statues with raised arms and gold jewellery, and a gilded crest is visible above the throne. A sound microphone is near his face and a peacock-feather fan sits at the right edge. The setting suggests a temple stage event.2011-12-12
