A photograph of a felicitation ceremony on a stage. A seated elderly bearded man in saffron robes and a large red flower garland sits on a flower-decorated throne with a marigold-and-lotus arrangement behind him. A tall man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe, orange turban and a gold chain, holds a basket of green plants toward him. Beside them, a man in an orange dhoti and shawl stands with hands together, and a boy in a yellow dhoti kneels at the seated man's feet offering a garland. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand behind the stage. A banner in Kannada script and a painted deity figure appear at the top. Printed on the banner is the name Sri Sri Sri Dr. Balagangadharanatha Mahaswamigalavaru, attributed to the banner. The swamiji candidate is a probable identification by appearance with long hair, orange turban and gold chain, shown standing in front of the seated figure.

July 23 20092009-07-23A photograph of a felicitation ceremony in a hall with a large banner behind. A seated elderly man in orange robes, with a red-and-white flower garland draped over his shoulders, sits on a red throne with gold trim and a floral arch above. A young man in a red-orange robe and red turban stands beside him, offering a woven basket with leaves. A bare-chested younger boy in a yellow garment kneels at the seat's base. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, one wearing an orange shawl and another with white hair, stand around, some pointing. The seated figure fits the page's claim, but the face and cues are not distinctive enough to confirm, so the a person field is unsure.2009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23July 23 20092009-07-23A ceremonial reception on a stage with a painted backdrop of deities above a large banner in Kannada script.
