A thatched-roof shrine space with a dried-palm wall. A man with long dark hair in an orange-saffron robe and a red tilak on his forehead stands at center, smiling. Beside him on a metal table are brass vessels and a small bundle of offerings, and a garlanded framed portrait of a woman in orange hangs on the wall. In the foreground, a man in a green shirt and orange lungi stands facing him, while another man in a white-and-grey checked shirt bends low near a cloth spread with flower petals and offerings. Scattered petals cover the floor.

December 15 20092009-12-15December 15 20092009-12-15A photograph inside a thatched palm-roofed shelter. A man with long dark hair, a red-orange sleeveless robe and white forehead markings stands at the centre, holding a rolled paper, while several men in white shirts with their backs to the camera gather around him. On the right, a framed portrait of a smiling man in orange robes with a flower garland hangs on the palm-leaf wall, and a stainless steel table holds brass lamps, dishes and small offerings. The swamiji candidate's appearance is consistent with the page's cues: long swept-back hair, orange robe and white markings, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), standing in the shelter with attendees. Text in the portrait caption is not clearly legible.2009-12-15Indoor scene in a small room with white-tiled floor and a barred window.
