A photograph of a ceremony in a hall with red curtains. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears a green flower garland, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, and he is the main figure of the scene. A colourful umbrella with painted panels stands behind him. In front, a group of girls and a young boy in saffron-orange robes stand in a line with rudraksha malas, flowers in their hair, and some hold hands together. Brass ritual objects include a trident, a kalasha-style vessel and oil lamps on the floor. A video camera on a tripod and standing women in white and red saris are in the background.2016-08-02A seated man in a maroon robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling and holding one hand near his chest.

A standing man in a rust-and-gold robe and rudraksha mala holds a microphone and speaks toward the audience. Around them, young children in white and saffron-orange dhotis or sarees with rudraksha malas stand on the red carpeted stage beside a table with water bottles and a monitor. The throne figure lacks the distinctive long hair or ornate gold necklaces that would confirm a person candidate, so identity remains uncertain.2015-08-09A seated man in a gold-and-red throne sits centrally on a raised gold dais in a golden temple-style hall.
