Indoor photo in a room with brown marble-patterned walls and a ceiling fan. On the left, a shaved-headed, bare-chested elderly priest in orange-red dhoti and shawl wears a gold-and-black beaded necklace, gold armlets, a white forehead band and a beaded headband, gesturing toward a large ornate gold-framed panel. On the right, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears a long white and red flower garland, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, and an orange-saffron robe with a patterned orange shawl draped over his arm. Behind them is a gold-framed portrait of several saffron-robed figures and a red cushioned seat.

Beside him, a younger man with a flower crown, gold necklace and gold bangles stands with palms joined in namaste, smiling, in red-orange garments. Behind them a man in a white dhoti and white shirt stands, and an older man in white with folded hands stands at right near a microphone stand. The scene shows a pada puja style reverence setting; the seated throne suggests a ceremonial gathering. The clothing colours are saffron and orange with gold accents, and the setting is an indoor hall.2012-05-02Photograph of two men inside an ornate hall with white-painted walls and a dark wooden door. On the left, a smiling man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a gold ornamental necklace with bead details, and an orange-saffron wrap holds a tall gold ceremonial staff. Beside him, a bare-chested older man seated on a gold-carved throne wears a beaded headband, white tilak, rudraksha mala beads and a gold pendant, and holds the staff's other end. A red-orange banner with a painted deity hangs behind them. The left man has distinctive long hair and ornate gold adornments, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is treated as unsure.

The man on the left is bare-chested, wears a white forehead mark, a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant, gold bangles, and a white turban-like head wrap with a bead crown, seated on red cushions and smiling broadly. The man on the right, also in orange, wears a long dark hair, tilak on his forehead, layered gold beaded necklaces, and sits with hands folded, laughing. Behind them hangs a framed poster of a saffron-clad figure in a garden, and a chrome railing and brass lamp sit in the foreground.2012-04-11April 29 20122012-04-29April 29 20122012-04-29A photograph of a ceremonial crowning moment.
