A photograph of a devotee in white shirt and trousers bowing forward and clasping hands with a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe over a red inner garment, long dark hair swept back, and smiles warmly. The throne is decorated with yellow marigold garlands and sits on a red carpet beneath a red and white flower arch. To the right, women in white salwar kameez and white saris with red dupattas stand with hands folded in namaskar, and a figure in orange kneels at left. The setting resembles a convention stage with a lotus motif behind.

A seated man in saffron and gold-bordered orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, wearing a white and red-orange flower garland and bare feet on a white cloth. Long dark hair frames his face as he speaks, and his hand rests on an orange cloth. Around him, saffron-robed attendants stand, one at left with palms pressed together and a green badge, others at right with garlands and gold beads. A devotee in white kurta and dhoti bows and touches his hand. A red carpet is scattered with flower petals, and the tent behind is decorated with garlands, marigolds and red-and-white draping. A printed copyright and source caption appears in the lower right corner.

February 01 2009 Kalpataru Convention at Coimbatore City

A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long white and red flower garland sits barefoot on a red cushion atop an ornate gold throne decorated with flowers. Two men in white dhotis stand before him; one in a checked shirt and blue-striped towel offers a gesture with his hands near the seated figure's shoulder. A woman in a white sari with blue floral border stands at the right. Behind the throne hang orange, cream and green drapes, and a tall arrangement of orange, yellow and white flowers stands at left. The scene appears to be a ceremonial reception or honoring at an outdoor pavilion with a red carpet and green floor covering.

A ceremonial puja scene in a gold-decorated shrine hall with a red carpet strewn with flower petals. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a dark red throne framed by a gold arch hung with garlands. Seated before him on the floor, a shaved-headed monk in orange robes with a white garland performs worship beside a silver-and-gold vessel decorated with yellow flowers. Devotees in white clothes kneel with folded hands, one young woman in white with a mala and a seated man in white at left. A deity murti in red and gold sits on a throne at right, with brass kalashas, fruits and marigold garlands around. The ceremony looks like a satsang or guru puja.
