A photograph of a decorated ceremonial pavilion with a seated central figure on a raised dais beneath a canopy of marigold and yellow flower garlands, with purple and pink lighting and floral arches framing the scene. The seated man wears a golden crown, a flower garland, gold armbands and an orange-red cloth, with a bare chest and a rudraksha-style necklace. Two attendants in orange-red cloths sit beside him on the dais. Around them, people in white and cream traditional dress are at work: a woman in white on the left, a man in a golden-yellow garment bending over a brass vessel, and a man in white with folded hands and a sacred thread at right. White flowers and palm leaves decorate the platform edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has a crown and gold adornments, with a rudraksha-style necklace, matching the page's reference to the event.

A seated man in a golden crown and a pink-and-white garland sits on a gold-and-leopard-print throne-like seat within a flower-wrapped canopy, wearing saffron-orange garments and gold armlets; he is recognized by the appearance-based cues of an ornate golden crown, saffron garments and ceremonial gold ornaments as Swamiji (probable). Behind him a large painted-looking portrait shows a saffron-robed sage with a rudraksha mala seated on a throne. To the left an attendant in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala kneels beside the seat. On the right, several devotees in white dhotis and gold-bordered white saris bow and touch the feet of the seated figure, one woman in a yellow blouse and white sari kneeling in the foreground. Lamps and a purple-lit backdrop complete the setting.2017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with dense marigold garlands in yellow and orange across a roof canopy, with purple-lit wooden architecture behind. A gold-framed throne-like seat under a floral arch is at centre, with a red floral backdrop. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts stand near the arch, with one man in a white dhoti and bare upper body moving near the gold seat. Two men wear saffron-orange cloth draped over their shoulders, and women in cream and gold saris stand at right with hands folded in namaskar. Floral arrangements and yellow garlands line the stage edge. No figure on the throne is clearly identifiable as a person by appearance, so the seated figure is not claimed.2017-07-09A photograph of a flower-decorated throne canopy with a seated figure wearing a golden crown, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a garland, against a purple-lit backdrop framed by marigold and orange garlands. In the foreground, a man in an orange-saffron robe holds a flaming lamp or aarti flame toward the seated figure. On the right, a man in white dhoti with a yellow-bordered cloth stands near a decorated pillar. The setting resembles a temple-like hall with gold-accented seating and white and orange flower arrangements at the base. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but the identification is uncertain, so the role is described as a seated figure receiving aarti. Three physical people are visible.2017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09July 09 20172017-07-09
