October 17 20102010-10-17A photo of a padapuja ritual on a stage at a Dasara celebration. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe with a garland of flowers, sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with yellow and purple flower garlands. A woman in a white sari with a yellow-green shawl kneels on a rug before the throne, bowing toward his feet, which rest on a small gold footstool with a cushion. Beside them, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala kneels on the rug and smiles. Behind them is a banner with an orange-clad figure and Kannada script, and a second decorated throne with a deity murti garlanded with flowers stands at left. Swamiji's appearance is a probable candidate, marked by long hair, saffron robe and garland on the throne, though the identity is an appearance-based judgement.2010-10-17A photo of a stage at a seated event.

A shaved-head attendant in white dhoti and orange shawl kneels at his feet, placing a folded orange cloth and garlanded low gold stand before him. To the left, a monk in orange robes and rudraksha mala raises a finger while holding papers; on the right, another orange-robed man with a rudraksha mala sits beside the throne.
