A man with long, swept-back dark hair and a light gold-embroidered kurta with a matching sash stands at a table cutting a white sheet cake decorated with small flowers. Behind him is a garland of yellow and red marigolds, a yellow and green backdrop with a decorative patterned banner, and a dark pedestal. To the left, a woman in white clothing stands near the table, and a man in white is partly visible at right. The man at the cake shows hair, ornate clothing, and a ceremonial garland-festooned setting consistent with a person cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold-embroidered clothing, and a festive garland backdrop.

A central man with long, swept-back dark hair and a gold-embroidered cream kurta and sash stands behind a white-draped table cutting or touching a row of white cakes decorated with flowers. Around him stand white-clad women in white saris with orange shawls, and on the right a bearded man in white dhoti and white shirt claps, while another man in a white shirt with an orange shawl raises his arm. Marigold petals cover the floor.2007-12-15A man with long dark hair stands on a decorated stage, smiling and raising both hands in front of him. He wears a cream-coloured embroidered kurta with a tan cloth sash at the waist. Behind him is a large garland arch of yellow and orange marigolds interwoven with white flowers and green leaves, with a black backdrop. Above the stage, a row of red-and-white arched decorations and a backdrop painted in yellow, green and blue frame the scene. Nearby, plants with green leaves hang from above.2007-12-15November 12 2006 Salem Aadheenam Inauguration2006-11-12December 15 20072007-12-15December 15 20072007-12-15A man with long dark hair stands barefoot on a bed of scattered pink and yellow flower petals, arms opened wide and mouth open in an expressive gesture. He wears an ornate cream-and-gold embroidered long coat over a cream dhoti with a gold-brown sash. Behind him a large black lingam is decorated with yellow and white marigold garlands and a white three-striped tripundra mark, set before green leafy decorations and yellow drapery. Two women in white stand at the sides, one clapping, indicating a satsang or puja setting. The appearance of the man with long hair and ornate clothing is a probable match for Swamiji (probable), shown here in a standing role during a ritual event.2007-12-15November 12 2006 Salem Aadheenam Inauguration2006-11-12December 15 20072007-12-15A smiling man with long dark hair stands on a decorated stage in front of a flower-covered throne. He wears a cream embroidered kurta and white dhoti with a red-and-gold border, and a long garland of white and red flowers hangs from his neck, with a red flower bunch in his hand. The throne is draped in orange and white marigold and jasmine garlands, with a backdrop of yellow and green foliage and a decorative arch above. Rose petals are scattered on the floor and a striped woven mat lies at the front of the stage. The man's presentation, long swept hair and ceremonial garland, is consistent with the page's a person reference, though his face cannot be confirmed, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues.2007-12-152011 - Photo AlbumDecember 15 20072007-12-15
