A photograph of a ceremony on a gilded throne with red cushions. A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe with green-and-gold border, white flower garlands, rudraksha beads and a red tilak, places his right hand over a brass tray of yellow turmeric or rice held by a kneeling attendant. The attendant wears an orange shawl with maroon border, glasses and a matching orange head covering. A microphone stands beside them against a white wall with red lotus scroll painting. Another orange-clad figure is partly visible at the upper left.

A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.2008-10-19Indoor photo in a room with orange curtains and white walls.
