A photograph of an outdoor festival event under a white and pink canopy. A man with long dark hair, wearing a white dhoti and shawl with gold trim and a garland of white and yellow flowers, sits smiling on an ornate gold and red throne decorated with bright floral garlands. Beside him, a man in saffron robes and a garland stands and holds a tray of fruit. A man in a white shirt and a woman in a red sari with purple shawl stand in front of the throne, the woman holding folded papers. Other people stand in the background under the tent.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a richly decorated golden throne draped with a large arch of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, orange and purple. He wears an orange-saffron robe with a shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads and a red flower garland, and gold bangles. A bare-chested figure is not clearly shown. To his left, a man in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered shawl and a younger man in a white shirt holding a brass plate of fruit and a sash stand before the throne, with an elderly man at the left edge. Red velvet curtains and a bald figure in white appear behind. Appearance-based identification is probable: the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas. a person is seated on the throne receiving the offering.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a heavy gold-beaded necklace, with long dark hair, smiling as she reaches toward a brass bowl of flowers and fruit on a wooden stand. A man in a white shirt with a white floral garland and folded hands bows smilingly toward her. Behind them, a man in white with a gold chain and another in white with a grey beard stand near a red-and-gold temple gate, and a man in white with an orange shawl stands at the right edge. Four to five physical people are visible. The seated figure's appearance and saffron robes with ornate gold necklace are compatible with the page's a person claim, but the person is not clearly distinguishable from other saffron-clad figures, so identity is uncertain.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a red-and-white flower garland studded with yellow fruit smiles broadly while extending a hand toward a man in white kurta with palms pressed together in greeting. The seated man wears a red-and-white flower garland with lemon-like fruit and has long swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead; he sits on an orange-draped cushioned seat, the appearance is consistent with the a person label but uncertain. Behind them a cameraman in white with an orange shawl films, and brass lamps, kalasha-like vessels, a fruit tray and a deity murti stand on a stone platform in a temple setting.

A photograph of a festive ceremony under a decorated tent with pink drapery and hanging balloons. A long-haired man in a white dhoti with a gold-coloured necklace and a bare chest sits on a golden throne draped in red and tiger-striped cloth, smiling. Garlands of marigolds and multicoloured flowers surround the throne. A man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala leans in to speak with him and offers a white cloth package. Nearby, men in cream and white ethnic clothing watch, and a brass tray holds apples, wrapped sweets and a towel. Swamiji (probable): the seated long-haired man with gold necklace and bare chest on a ceremonial throne fits the candidate's cues.

Behind him a younger man in orange robes and a garland holds a basket of mangoes or apples. Nearby, several saffron-robed sannyasis and a bearded man in an orange turban kneel or stand, and a white-clad devotee with folded hands bends low before the seated figure. Other people in white and yellow clothes stand at the edges, and a small child is visible at the lower right of the throne. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, a gold shawl and ornate gold necklaces on a golden throne, a compatible presentation, so this is.

A younger man in a white kurta, with long hair and gold bangles, bends forward and reaches toward him with a hand gesture. Behind them stand a figure in orange and strings of white and purple flower garlands hang on the black backdrop; a tray of fruit is visible below. a person is the seated figure, identified by saffron robes, rudraksha mala, ceremonial garland and throne cues.

Devotees in white and saffron stand around him; a man in white with a red-orange shawl and glasses watches closely, and a woman in the foreground holds up an apple. A large gilded deity murti and yellow and red marigold garlands decorate the dais, under a white canopy with a ceiling fan at the top right. The scene looks like an apple offering during a devotional gathering.
