A stage event with flower arrangements along the front edge. Four men stand in front of a banner showing a saffron cloth, a lake scene and Tamil printed text. On the left, a man in white shirt and dhoti stands beside a man in white kurta and skullcap, who hands a folded paper to a bearded elder in an orange-saffron robe and shawl. Beside the elder stands a figure with long hair, an orange turban and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange robe and smiling. On the right, a man in white shirt and trousers stands at the edge. Swamiji (probable): the standing figure in the orange turban has long hair and rudraksha beads over saffron clothing, so this is a candidate present in person; appearance is consistent but not certain.

The banner shows Tamil script in yellow and red, and the saffron-robed man with long hair and an orange turban shares a probable match to Swamiji by visible cues of saffron clothing, long hair and turban, so he is described as Swamiji (probable) receiving a book from the bearded elder during the stage ceremony.2006-11-24November 22 20052005-11-22 +1 copiesNovember 22 20052005-11-22 +1 copiesApril 27 20082008-04-27November 24 20062006-11-24Outdoor stage event at dusk under a white canopy with a red carpet.
