A seated man in a rust-orange turban, orange robe and layered green-and-white leaf and flower garlands smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a woman bowing before him at a golden-draped table. Behind him rises an ornate gold throne with a gold trident-like staff beside it against a deep red curtain. A woman in a rust-orange sari with a long side braid stands at left holding a notebook. Beside the blessing figure, a silver plate and offerings are visible, and the front of the table shows a small paper notepad.

Behind them a woman with white and red forehead markings, long braid and rust-red sari holds a microphone and smiles. A red draped curtain and gold pillar form the backdrop, with a book on the table. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a rust-red turban, rudraksha-style ornate gold adornments and a flower garland, and the page indicates Swamiji was present, so he is described as a probable candidate.2016-08-27August 27 20162016-08-27A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a red-draped hall. A man in a white shirt bows forward, his head bowed toward a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban with a crescent emblem, who has a rudraksha-style bead bracelet, a fresh green leaf and white flower garland, and gold ornaments, and whose hand rests on the bowing man's head in blessing. A woman in an orange-red sari with a white tilak on her forehead and a long braid stands behind them smiling. A gold trident stands beside the seated man, and a gold-embroidered cushion rests behind him.
