Photo of a ceremonial moment at a celebration decorated with garlands of orange marigolds, yellow flowers and white jasmine strands. A man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron wrap over a bare shoulder, a golden shawl, and many beaded rudraksha-style malas and ceremonial necklaces with colourful threads; he smiles as he receives attention. A man in a white shirt leans in and places his hands on the orange-clad figure's arm, and a bearded seated man in white smiles behind them. Swamiji (probable) appearance-based label; the long hair, saffron wrap and ornate beaded malas are the qualifying cues for the figure receiving the garland-adorned honour. A woman in a white top stands at the right edge. A microphone and white backdrop complete the scene.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange robe with a golden-bordered shawl and green garland being garlanded by a man in a white shirt and white trousers. Behind them is a backdrop of white and orange marigold garlands and green leaf festoons. A lit oil lamp is at the left edge and a smiling woman in a teal sari stands at the right. A man in a rudraksha-style setting is visible at the lower right. The garlanded man is a candidate for a person by appearance, with long swept hair, orange clothing and ornate garlands, but the presentation is not distinctive enough to confirm.

A photograph of a smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair seated on a throne-like seat covered in white and yellow jasmine garlands, with a backdrop of marigold-like flowers. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body, a white garment beneath, and a long gold-toned pendant on a chain. Strings of white flower garlands hang across his chest and shoulders, and scattered petals fall onto his hair. Another person in white clothing, partially visible at the right edge, reaches forward toward him, and flower petals cover the foreground. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, seated in a place of honour, so this is a probable Swamiji in person; the page indicates his presence at the event.

A photograph of a festive decorated space with marigold and jasmine garland arches in orange, yellow and white. A long-haired man with a dark complexion and a bare chest, wearing an orange shawl with a red-and-gold border and a garland, smiles while a man in a white shirt and white trousers leans in to adjust the shawl on his shoulder. A woman in a white sari with a gold border stands behind holding a brass plate. Strings of small lights hang on the wall.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair, wearing a thick gold necklace and a white flower garland, with a hand raised on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows with palms pressed together. A standing older man in white shirt and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala and wristwatch, watches with palms joined. The backdrop is covered in white jasmine-like flowers and red blossoms. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable) for the seated figure in orange robe, long hair, gold necklace and garland, a ceremonial blessing role.

A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange shawl over his shoulders and a thick garland of white jasmine and red flowers with gold ceremonial beads. He stands in front of a wall decorated with white flowers and orange-red blooms, extending his hand toward another person at the left edge, who wears an orange shawl and gold bangle. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron shawl and gold-beaded garland match the appearance cues for the page's subject; the page indicates his presence at this event.

A photograph of a seated man in a deep maroon-red garment receiving a ritual offering in an ornate, golden-yellow setting. He wears a crescent-topped headdress, layered garlands of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers, and multiple beaded bracelets and gold bangles, and smiles with closed eyes. Before him, a bare-chested priest with orange-and-gold beaded necklaces and a white dhoti bends forward, extending his hands toward the seated man's arm, holding a gold bowl or ceremonial vessel. A second attendant in white with rudraksha beads stands behind, and a golden throne with fringed red cloth and a golden trident-like ornament appears at the left. Green leaves and garlands decorate the back wall.
