A photograph taken through a doorway of a red brick building under construction, with an open window frame. A man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a green flower garland and a gold-coloured necklace, stands in the doorway with his hands together in greeting. A woman in an orange sari with flowers in her hair stands by the window with her palms pressed together. In the foreground, a girl in a pink outfit with a white flower garland kneels on the floor, and an older woman in white with a grey braid watches from the right. Leaves and green garlands hang from the doorway top, and a brass oil lamp sits on the left with white flowers. Several people in white clothing are visible beyond the entrance.

A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a green-bead garland, layered gold necklaces and an orange-and-gold shawl, stands at the centre holding a small woven tray with a green leaf. Beside him a younger monk in orange robes stands. Two women with hair adorned with white flowers are seen from behind in the foreground, one bending forward with a folded head, and a few men in white dhotis and shirts stand behind. Above them hang green mango-leaf and flower festoons, and a red-and-white canopy with bunting is visible outside. Brass vessels and fruit sit near the lower left. Consistent with a probable Swamiji appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklaces, green-bead garland) performing a blessing ritual.2008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29A photograph of an inauguration ceremony at a red-brick building under construction. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a green bead garland, and gold necklaces, stands in a doorway cut through brick and cuts a yellow ribbon stretched across the opening. Around him, a young boy in white and a woman in a pale sari hold a brass puja plate with flowers, while other people in white and light clothing gather behind. Strings of flower garlands and banana leaves frame the doorway, and colourful umbrellas show beyond. Several spectators stand and look on through a metal grille. Cues include long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial beads, consistent with the page's claim that Swamiji attended.2008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29
