A seated man with dark hair in a low bun and a rudraksha mala, bare-chested with a red-orange cloth draped over his lap, sits on a red cushioned seat flanked by golden lion-head armrests, gesturing with open hands while smiling. Facing him, a man in an orange turban, red-orange shawl over a white striped shirt, and bearded, leans forward with hands raised in conversation. Behind them a woman in a maroon sari and beaded necklace sits, while women in cream and white attire with red shawls stand near a maroon curtain holding papers and a brass plate. The setting is an indoor hall with a wall air conditioner and a staircase railing.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a red-and-gold bangle set and gold earrings, with a tilak on the forehead, places one hand on the head of a kneeling man in a dark purple button-shirt who bows with hands at his chest. A gilded decorative object sits in the foreground, and a standing crowd in white and cream traditional attire, including a woman in a white sari with gold border and red bindi, watches with hands folded. A framed colourful wall artwork hangs at left. The seated figure's face is not visible, so no identification is made; the figure is described by role and dress only.2014-05-14November 08 20152015-11-08A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-and-saffron garment with a red-orange turban, wearing a large rudraksha mala and a purple-and-blue wristband, reaching forward to hold the hands of a kneeling man in a light grey striped shirt. Behind them stands a golden ceremonial staff topped with a trident-like finial, and beside the gold-carved throne armrest a woman in a yellow-and-white sari and a woman in a purple sari with green and yellow border stand with palms pressed together in greeting. A probable Swamiji appearance is shown by the turban, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing of the seated figure, who is seated on a red-cushioned throne. Two women in saris and a kneeling devotee form the rest of the scene, in an indoor room with a white wall and an electric fan.2015-06-21September 11 20152015-09-11September 28 20132013-09-28A photo inside a hall with red carpet and red sofa.
