Four men stand in conversation near the centre: on the left a shaved-headed man in red-orange draped garments with gold trim and bangles, beside a man in a white dhoti and dark cloth, a man in a grey shirt with a lanyard gesturing with his hand, and a man in a dark button-up shirt with a patch on the chest and a wristwatch.

Photograph on a stage with dark wood-panelled walls and carved blue-and-gold wooden panels with floral and diamond motifs; pink cushioned sofas sit at the sides. Four physical people stand together: at left, a bald man with bare upper body wears a red-and-gold dhoti and a sacred thread, with a gold bracelet on his arm; next, a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a garland around his neck stands with hands joined; a woman in an olive-green jacket and grey trousers faces a man in a black button shirt and jeans, adjusting his jacket collar; he holds a black bag. Red carved-wood ceremonial fan-shaped panels stand behind them. No appearance-based cues for a person are clear, so the robed men are described by role only.2015-12-17A photograph of a staged stage setting with a golden carved dancing Nataraja-style figure on a blue and yellow tiled backdrop. A man in a red and orange striped sari-like garment with bangles and a small bag leans toward a seated man in a dark button-up shirt with a badge, who is smiling and holding small objects in his hands. A third man in a grey shirt and khaki trousers, wearing a lanyard, bends forward to look at them. Pink cushioned chairs and a low table are visible at the right.

In front, a man in a dark uniform-style shirt sits in a matching chair with his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect, while a younger man in a striped shirt and lanyard kneels beside a woven basket. A robed attendant in orange stands behind them. Red stage drapery and a carved red ornament frame the scene. The swami figure matches a presentation cue of long swept hair, saffron robes and beads, so the candidate is seated on stage, but the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2015-12-17Stage photo at a person event: a seated figure on the right wears a red and orange sari-style garment, rudraksha mala beads, a gold-toned necklace and a dark swept-up hairstyle, sitting barefoot in a wooden armchair.
