A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, lifting a long white and red garland over the head of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala. The seated man sits on a gold ornate throne with red upholstery inside a stone temple hall, wearing a headband and gold ear adornments. Several onlookers in white and light clothing stand and sit behind them, and a partly visible person in white stands in the background. The seated man has long swept-back hair and a gold necklace, which matches the appearance cues of the Swamiji candidate, so the seated figure is Swamiji (probable), receiving a garland in a temple setting.2012-05-12May 13 20122012-05-13May 13 20122012-05-13April 23 20152015-04-23February 17 20132013-02-17A photograph inside a temple hall with gold-leaf walls and fluorescent lights.

The kneeling man wears a rudraksha-bead necklace and a white garland with pink and red flower strands draped across his back, with white sacred ash marks on his forearms and forehead. Behind them, a man with a shaved head and white tilak marks stands watching.

The setting appears to be a temple-style hall with yellow walls and ceiling fans.2012-05-18A photograph in a narrow doorway with polished walls and carved white panels.
