A seated man in saffron-orange robes and white dhoti receives honour outdoors beneath a canopy with white cloth and a golden pillar. He wears a long white and red flower garland, and long dark hair. A young man in a white vest and red dhoti kneels at his feet, touching them with offerings. Behind, a man in white shirt and white dhoti with a sandal-marked forehead and rudraksha-style beaded necklace stands. Around them, young men in white vests and dhotis, one in yellow cloth, stand in a crowd. Saffron flags flutter and palm trees and hills stand under a cloudy sky. Flower petals and a tray of offerings lie on a green mat at the front.

Outdoors under a thatched canopy with orange flags and palm trees behind, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and layered garlands of white and red flowers sits on a white-draped seat, holding a lemon-like fruit. Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate garlands, with a page note of his attendance. Before him, a line of young men in white vests, white dhotis and yellow and red waistcloths kneels or bows, one touching flower petals on a green mat. A man in white shirt and dhoti stands behind, and to the right a ceremonial tray holds flowers and leaves, while another attendant with a red-bead necklace stands close. Overcast sky and distant hills complete the scene.2006-11-13November 13 20062006-11-13An outdoor photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe and white dhoti receiving honours under a corrugated shelter, with a long dark hair swept back and a large garland of red and white flowers around the neck.

Several men stand nearby: two in khaki police-style uniforms, and others in white with rudraksha malas.

A woman in white sari with flower-adorned hair kneels and offers flowers, while a woman in a blue sari and a boy in white stand at left, and a man in white pours flower petals from a plate at right. Palm trees, hills, and orange flags fill the background; a green cloth covers the platform with flowers scattered on it. The page identifies this as the inauguration of Seeragapadi Aadheenam with a person present, but the seated man's appearance is only a partial match, so he is described by role and marked unsure.2006-11-13A photograph outdoors under a corrugated shelter with a grey cloudy sky and palm trees behind. A figure with long dark swept-back hair sits on a raised seat in an orange robe, wearing a white flower garland and a red flower garland, smiling with bare feet on a bed of petals. In front, a smiling man in a white shirt bends forward with his hands clasped, and other men in white shirts and white dhotis stand around.

A man in white dhoti and shirt and a man in an orange shirt stand nearby, and a woman in white sari with a white shawl stands behind the throne.

Rose petals are scattered on the carpet and a bowl of petals sits at the lower right. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron robes, a person cue, though the image is only partly clear.2006-11-13
