A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-bead mala pours water from a brass pot over a black Shivalinga during an abhishekam before a decorated shrine. Behind the linga, golden deity murtis wear red-and-gold garments, crowns and ornaments, framed by garlands of yellow, orange and white flowers. A second attendant in orange robes and a gold chain stands at left holding a brass pot. Small brass items, a sri yantra-shaped object and a white figure sit on the altar base. The figure's appearance includes long swept hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, but the page does not establish identity from appearance, so the presence is treated as an unsure candidate.

Photograph of a temple abhishekam at a shrine decorated with marigold and multicolour flower garlands. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes pours water from a golden kalasha over a black Shivalinga. Behind him stand gilded deity murtis of Shiva and Parvati, the Shiva figure wearing a red turban, a red tilak and jewelled necklaces, the Parvati figure in a red sari with a jewelled crown. A second person in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands at the left edge, partly visible. A small white marble seated figure and a gold pot stand on the altar base. The man pouring water is a probable match for a person, based on his long hair and saffron robes, though his face is partly turned away. Water flows over the linga onto the stone base.2010-02-12A long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe pours water from a brass vessel over a black Shiva linga in a temple shrine, as part of an abhishekam. Behind the linga stand large gilded deity murtis, one wearing a red-orange crown and the other a gold crown, decorated with red and yellow marigold garlands and red silk drapery. A second person in orange robes and a gold chain holds a brass pot on the left. A small white marble seated statue and a brass lamp sit in the foreground, and a brass kalasha is visible at lower left.2010-02-12A figure in a flowing orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a gold bead mala pours water from a brass pot over a black Shiva lingam in a temple shrine. Long gold beaded necklaces and a red-tipped forehead mark are visible. Beside him a second person in orange with a gold mala stands and watches, and a partially visible person in orange appears at the left edge. Behind the lingam, a gilded deity murti is decked with yellow and orange flower garlands and red silk draping. A small white marble seated figure with folded hands sits in the foreground near the base. Water runs across the stone floor. Long swept-back hair, orange robes and mala cues match the probable Swamiji profile, and the pot-pouring figure appears to be the central celebrant.2010-02-12A photograph inside a temple sanctum of an ornate shrine decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, white and purple. Two large metal deity murtis stand at the centre, one with a tall orange crown and the other with a decorated headdress and jewelled necklaces. A man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl with a beaded necklace stands before them, holding a silver vessel. A shaved-headed man in orange robes kneels at the lower left, holding a bowl up toward him, possibly for abhishekam.
