He wears a red beaded mala and a gold necklace and holds his hands together while speaking. A gold trident stands to his right. Around the low dais, a seated crowd of devotees in white and cream traditional dress, many women with hair in braids or buns, sits with brass plates of offerings (naivedyam) and flowers. Gold-painted pillars and colourful painted deity figures frame the hall. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central seated figure, a candidate identified from his red robe, red turban and ornate gold necklace, shown in the role of the presiding guru on the throne.2015-07-31Outdoor ceremony under a canopy with draped white and maroon cloth. On the right, a seated figure in a golden crown and orange-saffron garments, wearing a long multicoloured garland and ornate gold jewellery, sits on a gold throne and smiles while raising one hand. On the left, a deity murti in a gold-framed palanquin-style seat is also heavily garlanded in red, yellow, purple and green flowers. Seated devotees in white dhotis, orange shawls, a purple salwar and a yellow sari face the platform, several with their backs to the camera.

A man seated on an ornate golden throne with a crown above and a garland of yellow and red flowers behind him wears a red-orange robe, a red-orange turban and a rudraksha mala. A row of devotees in white and cream clothes sit on the floor facing him, several with hair in braids or buns, and a few wearing red or orange shawls. Gold lion and deity sculptures flank the throne, with a trident leaning on the right. Attendants in white stand at the back left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in red-orange robes wears a turban, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace, which are cues for the page's claim, so the figure is treated as a probable candidate in person.2015-07-31A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long garland of white and yellow flowers sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion in a red-draped hall, with a gold pedestal footstool and a ceremonial trident-like staff beside him. Around him on the red carpet sit about ten devotees in white, red and patterned clothing, several wearing rudraksha malas, some with hands folded or offering brass plates of flowers, red kumkum and petals before the throne, consistent with a padapuja. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ceremonial garland and throne. Sheer gold drapes hang at the top right and a potted plant stands at the back.2014-08-04A seated man on an ornate golden throne with lion and makara-style carvings sits centrally before a heart-shaped jeweled backdrop, smiling with hands extended. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style cloth with a red-and-multicolour floral garland, a rudraksha-style mala and a pendant, and has dark swept-back hair. Around him, devotees sit on the floor in white and orange-saffron clothing, some with braided hair and flower adornments.

A large deity murti in a gold-decorated palanquin or ratha, garlanded with flowers in red, yellow and purple, stands behind them.
