A stage event photograph at night under warm overhead lights, with a blue starfield backdrop. On the left, a large dark murti of a deity under a canopy, garlanded with multicolour flower garlands, stands beside a golden throne-like seat. A shirtless man in white dhoti with a red waist cloth stands at the left, and a man in white dhoti and shawl kneels center-stage on a red and patterned mat, next to a woman in a dark garment holding a small ritual vessel. Several women in saris, one in orange-red and one in yellow, stand or kneel at the right, and more people in saris sit in the background. A camera on a tripod is visible at the far left. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable by appearance.

Beside him stands a large dark deity murti with a hooded cobra canopy, a long garland of flowers, and a staff-like trident. A woman in white and gold kneels or sits at the lower left, and a woman in a dark green sari with a long braid kneels near the throne. A row of women in pink, red, and blue saris stands at the right on a red-carpeted stage under stage lights, with a galaxy backdrop behind. The figure on the throne shows distinctive long hair and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji presence.2016-12-21December 02 20162016-12-02Stage photograph of a ceremony with a large deity murti of Shiva at left, its head adorned with a garland and a canopy, beside a garland-draped figure in a white and red sari.

On the red-draped stage, a man in a white dhoti and gold-trimmed shawl stands before a seated person in saffron and red garments, while another man in white kneels and a woman in white and red is nearby; trident standards flank the platform. A dense audience in the foreground, many in white and pastel clothes, watches. A film camera on a crane is at right. The visible stage figures are not confidently matched to any identity, so no candidate is asserted.2016-12-02A photograph of a ceremonial abhishekam at an indoor stage with red carpet and warm stage lighting. A large dark stone deity murti with a multi-hooded serpent canopy stands at the right against a blue-lit backdrop. Priests in white dhotis and shawls kneel and stand around a brass kalasha and oil lamp, performing the ritual. Devotees in saris, kurtas and a child in white stand in a line at the right, watching. A man at the centre wears an orange turban and a rudraksha mala and is seated on a rug, but his appearance is not a clear identifying match, so no a person identification is made. Brass trident-topped stands surround the platform.2016-12-02December 02 20162016-12-02
