March 10 20132013-03-10September 19 20172017-09-19A ritual scene in a temple hall with a golden ornate backdrop and golden deity statues. A long-haired man in a maroon robe sits on a golden throne-like seat, receiving offerings from a woman in maroon sari kneeling beside a silver bowl on a low golden stand. Standing and kneeling figures in saffron-orange robes and orange headwraps, including a child, are gathered on a white cloth and striped mat, while women in maroon saris watch with hands folded. Gold statues flank the scene and a glossy floor reflects the light.2017-09-19April 24 20132013-04-24March 10 20132013-03-10A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne with a tall gilded back before dark red drapes. He wears a long layered rudraksha-style mala and a gold ceremonial necklace, and one hand is extended. Around him, devotees in white dhotis and saris with gold borders bow and attend: a man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti rests a hand on the head of a bowing person in white, and a woman in a white sari holds up a small paper, while others in orange garments stand nearby. A brass lamp stands at the left and a gold-edged dais sits below the throne. The appearance matches the a person cues of saffron clothing, turban and mala on the throne, so the seated figure is a person in person.2015-11-22A seated figure in an orange-red robe and a red turban with a jewel ornament sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-form arms and a red velvet cushion, wearing a multi-strand flower garland and a rudraksha-style mala. A man in white dhoti and shirt bends forward to offer something in front of the throne while several young men and boys in white clothing stand around, one holding a small white plate or cloth.2015-11-22November 23 20142014-11-23A seated man in orange robes sits on an ornate red throne with gold lion-shaped armrests and a gold canopy behind him. He wears a white tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas, a pendant necklace, and red-and-gold armbands. His bare feet rest on a tray of yellow flowers held by a young girl in an orange-red sari who kneels at left, while a boy in a white dhoti with red border sits at right with a tilak and a chain necklace. Brass oil lamps stand at either side and a dark red backdrop with a glowing arc decorates the background. This appears to be a pada-pooja foot-worship ritual on a dais, with the seated man in orange robes identified by the page as a person.2012-10-06April 24 20132013-04-24December 31 20152015-12-31A ceremonial stage scene where a bare-chested priest in white dhoti kneels and performs a pada puja at the feet of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne. The seated figure wears saffron/orange robes, a long flower garland, and has long dark hair and a beard, appearing as a probable Swamiji with distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and garland cues. Behind the throne a dark deity murti is decorated with colourful flower garlands. A trident (trishula) stands to the side, and a golden tray with flower petals sits before the throne. Attendants in orange and saffron clothing hold cushions and stand nearby, and a man in white dhoti with a sacred thread sits on the left with folded hands, while a woman in orange saree with red blouse stands beside the throne.
