Close view of a red wooden plaque-shaped award on a white stage, with a central circular silver frame holding a portrait labelled with a printed name, flanked by two smaller red plaques with silver medallions. Two hands in white sleeves rest on the side plaques and a third hand touches the top of the central piece; the wearers' white garments and gold bangles are visible. The printed Tamil caption on the base records a Mahamandaleshwar title conferred on a person Swamigal by Hindu Dharma Shakti, Tamil Nadu, dated 03.3.2013. The portrait shows a man with long dark hair, a red garment and beaded necklaces, and is a depiction on a printed award rather than a person present in the scene.2013-03-03March 03 20132013-03-03A photograph of a decorative wooden plaque on a white floor, with a central circular silver-framed picture of a man with long dark hair and an orange garment, flanked by two smaller silver peacock-motif medallions.

Flanking it are two smaller red plaques with silver medallions showing a peacock-like bird. Five wooden finials top the central plaque. The figure in the framed photograph is a depiction, not a physically present person; no identification is made from appearance.2013-03-03A wooden plaque with a red-brown faux-wood finish and five turned finials on top stands on a white surface in front of white-clad devotees whose legs and feet are visible. A central circular silver-toned frame holds a small colour portrait labelled with a readable Tamil honour inscription, and two smaller silver medallions with bird motifs flank it. The lower base carries an engraved Tamil-script dedication. The portrait shows a smiling figure with long dark hair, a red garment and beaded necklaces, though this is an appearance-based label only, so the depiction is treated as a printed portrait on an award plaque. Three white-clad people are visible from the knees down.2013-03-03A photograph of a commemorative plaque on a white stage, presented as a trophy-style award.
