Several other people in orange and brown robes stand behind and beside them under an orange-draped tent with gold ornamental panels and a golden throne at left. Others watch with hands folded, one holding a rudraksha mala.2013-02-09February 09 20132013-02-09A photograph of a ceremonial honouring scene on a red carpet under a canopy. In the foreground a man in a red-orange turban and orange robe, with a multicoloured flower garland draped over his shoulder and gold bangles on his wrist, leans forward and places his hand on the bald head of a seated elder in orange robes. The elder is seated on a red and chrome chair with yellow cushions. Beside him, a bearded man in a red knitted cap and orange robe sits and watches. Behind them an ornate gold throne-like seat with gold carvings stands, and another man in orange robes is visible at the far right.

Several other saffron-robed monks stand behind, one holding a brass kalasha-like ornamental object, and a man in a dark jacket stands at the left edge. Red draping and stage lights frame the scene, and a camera is mounted in the background. Behind the central figure, a red cushioned seat sits beside a tiger-skin covering.2016-05-03February 09 20132013-02-09Photograph of a stage ceremony in front of a silver-framed deity murti with a trident and gold crown.

A man in a saffron-orange kurta with a saffron shawl and dark-rimmed glasses stands at left, reaching toward a bowl of fruit held by a long-haired figure at right wearing a red-orange dhoti and a thick red and orange flower garland, with a bare upper body and a smile. Behind them, a bald man in brown-red robes with rudraksha beads and a wristband speaks into a microphone while holding a red booklet, and another man in a white dhoti with a yellow shawl sits near the front. A gold and yellow flower-decorated throne with a heart-shaped backdrop stands at left, with gold and pink balloons and a red cloth nearby. The long-haired figure at right is a person by appearance: long swept-back hair, saffron-red clothing and a garland, though the identification is appearance-based only.2016-01-03February 06 20132013-02-06
