November 27 20112011-11-27December 05 20112011-12-05December 17 20112011-12-17A photo of a seated group in a red-curtained hall with ornate gold furnishings. On a large gold throne at upper right sits a robed figure in orange-saffron garments with a golden necklace and an orange turban, holding a golden staff; the figure's appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues of a turban, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold, presented here as a throne-seated presence with devotees on the floor. Around him, roughly two dozen devotees sit cross-legged on the floor in white, red and saffron clothing with red shawls, many holding brass plates of offerings. A tall brass oil lamp stands at left beside a tripod camera. Several bald and white-haired devotees in white garments sit in the foreground.2015-10-26A golden throne with an ornate arched back sits at the centre of a temple-style stage, backed by a large painted banner of a saffron-robed figure on the left and a bow-wielding warrior in gold ornaments on the right. A man in a magenta-and-gold turban, pink dhoti and a long white flower garland with red blossoms sits on the throne with his hands resting on his knees. Before him, a gold-and-brass offering table holds flowers and small items. Seated devotees face him: a woman in a deep red sari, a man in a white shirt with folded hands, and a bare-chested priest in white dhoti with a sacred thread and wrist beads, all in a satsang or darshan setting. Brass oil lamps flank the throne. The figure on the throne is described by appearance as a person, with turban, flower garland and ceremonial pink clothing, though this is uncertain.2011-11-27November 27 20112011-11-27February 07 20102010-02-07December 08 20132013-12-08A seated figure on a large gilded throne with carved lion-like armrests and ornate golden panels sits at the top of a red-draped hall, wearing a rust-orange turban, a saffron-orange wrap and a long beaded mala with gold ornaments. Around the throne, a seated congregation in white and orange-red shawls faces him, with several people in front holding offerings and palms together. Women in white and yellow saris sit on the floor in the foreground, and a brass oil lamp stands at the right edge. The setting looks like a satsang or puja with devotees seated in rows. Several people are visible in the front rows, about twenty to thirty in total, and the gathering is visible at the back and sides as well.2015-10-26December 08 20132013-12-08A seated man on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion wears an orange turban and an orange-and-pink flower garland, with a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist and a saffron shawl draped over him. Around him, devotees sit on a blue floor in white, saffron and red shawls, several holding brass plates of flowers and offerings, including a man in white and a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered shawl. A tall silver trident stands beside the throne, and a second golden throne sits empty in the background. The appearance-based candidate on the throne has long swept-back hair, a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a satsang-style gathering.2014-05-11June 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copies
