A man in a white shirt and white dhoti leans forward and touches the forehead of a seated man in a red and gold brocade shawl with a pink flower garland and gold necklaces, while holding a silver tray of oranges or fruit. Behind them, several people in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas stand under a canopy, and a deity murti or framed image sits on a gold-decorated throne in the background. The scene appears to be a ritual blessing in a temple-like setting. The seated man is a candidate for a person based on the presentation of a brocade shawl, flower garland, gold necklaces and the honoured seat, though appearance is not fully conclusive.

September 17 20172017-09-17A seated man in red and gold silk robes with a red and pink flower garland sits on a red velvet throne with an ornate silver frame, while a man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward, pressing his palm to the seated man's forehead and holding a brass tray of oranges. Behind them, saffron-clad young men in orange dhotis and rudraksha malas stand, a woman in a green sari watches, and a golden shrine or decorated idol is visible at left. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja-style honouring at night under a tent-like canopy. The seated man's appearance does not clearly match the page's identification, so his role is given only as the honoured person on the throne.2017-09-17September 17 20172017-09-17September 17 20172017-09-17September 17 20172017-09-17September 17 20172017-09-17Night-time photo at an outdoor ceremony under a tent.

Behind them, several men wear saffron and orange robes and rudraksha malas; one wears an orange turban. A woman in a green blouse and white sari with a beaded necklace stands at left, and a golden throne with a seated figure is visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man on the red throne, identified by red and gold shawl, garland, rudraksha and turban-free long hair with tilak.2017-09-17A photograph of a seated figure in an ornate setting. A man in white clothes leans forward, reaching toward the head of a smiling person seated on a throne-like seat with a leopard-print cushion. The seated person wears a rust-orange turban with a white jewelled brooch, a rust-orange robe, and a long ornate gold necklace with a brown beaded collar. Behind them is a richly decorated golden-green-red panel with mirror work and a backdrop of yellow and red marigold garlands. Red fruits. A woman's face partly visible at the left edge and another figure in the background. The seated person's appearance matches the presentation cues associated with the page subject, so this is labeled as a probable appearance-based match in person.2016-03-27September 04 20162016-09-04 +2 copiesSeptember 17 20172017-09-17September 17 20172017-09-17September 17 20172017-09-17
