A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-gold robe, wearing a heavy gold-beaded necklace, faces a woman in white clothes and round glasses who wears a red shawl printed with script. Behind them a man in white dhoti with red shawl and gold necklace stands at a table, and two women in white with red shawls and lanyards watch from the back. A red electric fan and a lamp are in the background. The seated figure's distinctive turban, bare upper torso and gold-beaded necklace are visible cues, but the image does not establish identity, so the seated person is described by role only.

Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border and gold necklace stands beside a golden lion figure, and several women in white with red shawls and beaded malas stand in the background. A woman in white with a green lanyard watches at right, and a small electric fan is visible. The figure seated on the throne has distinctive visible cues including a turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) in the role of the seated guru receiving the devotee.2015-09-11September 11 20152015-09-11September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesA photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange-saffron robe and a heavy gold beaded necklace with a gold ornament at the hip, extending a hand to a kneeling woman in a white top with a red-and-orange patterned shawl. The woman bows her head, her hands held out, and a red-orange wristband is visible. Behind them, several people in white clothes and red lanyards stand with hands folded, and a standing fan and a red curtain are in the room. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the orange-red turban, saffron robe and gold beaded necklace is in the central position of the ritual exchange.2015-09-11A photograph of a ceremonial exchange in an indoor hall. A figure on the left wears a red-orange turban, an orange and saffron wrap, a heavy gold necklace and a gold belt; the page flags a person with a turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments, so this person is an appearance-based candidate whose identity is uncertain. The figure extends a red-orange cloth with a woven pattern toward a woman on the right in a red-orange patterned shawl and white sari with green border, who holds her hands cupped to receive it. Between them stands a man in white dhoti and shawl with a red-orange rudraksha-style garland, looking down and holding the cloth. Behind them, women in white and red-orange clothing stand, one with a red head covering. A black fan and brass lamps are visible on the left.2015-09-11A photo of a ceremonial exchange on a stage. A seated figure in an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace sits on a brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, gesturing toward a woman in a white sari with a red-and-brown shawl who smiles and joins her palms. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a red-brown mala and a gold necklace stands near the throne, and another woman in white stands at the back. A pedestal oil lamp and a large red-and-white pedestal fan are visible, with an ornate temple-style backdrop behind.

Standing behind them are several women in white clothes with orange lanyards and rudraksha-style beads.
