A photograph on a stage in front of a large ornate golden throne and a carved blue-grey deity backdrop. A man in a rust-red turban with a crescent and emblem, rust-red robe, multiple rudraksha malas, gold necklace and jewelled belt smiles and holds a red book with a gold emblem. Facing him, a man with long hair, hoop earring, white and gold-bordered dhoti and white ash markings on his arm presents a small maroon box wrapped in an orange cloth.2017-06-21June 21 20172017-06-21June 21 20172017-06-21July 16 20162016-07-16A seated man in an orange-red turban, orange robes, a red and white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces and gold armlets receives a small object wrapped in purple cloth from a bare-chested man in white and yellow-bordered dhoti. Behind them is a wall of marigolds and red, white and orange flowers. The seated figure has distinctive orange robes, a turban and ceremonial gold necklaces, so a person match is noted, with the receiving figure described as a seated priest in orange. The scene resembles a ritual exchange of an offering during a session.2015-07-13August 09 20152015-08-09October 15 20172017-10-15August 09 20152015-08-09 +1 copiesA photograph of a ceremonial offering inside an ornate gold-decorated hall. A bare-chested young priest in a white dhoti and a purple-and-green shawl leans forward holding a brass tray with a white cloth bundle, pink and yellow flowers, and a small bottle. Seated on a large gold throne with carved gold backrest, a bearded man with long swept-back hair wears a rust-brown robe, a thick gold necklace, a gold pendant, rudraksha-style beaded armbands, and a tilak on his forehead; he sits with eyes closed. Warm orange and gold tones fill the background. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man, identified by long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, and a saffron-brown robe, receiving the offering from the priest.2017-03-15 +1 copiesJuly 17 20162016-07-17September 12 20152015-09-12September 12 20152015-09-12
