Photograph of an indoor event on a stage with a large ornate gold throne backed by a gold arched frame decorated with yellow and red flower garlands. A man with long dark hair in a saffron-orange robe sits on the red-and-black patterned seat, raising one hand toward an older man in a white shirt and cream trousers who leans in close and holds an object. Beside them stands a young man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha-style mala, and a man in a green polo shirt stands at right, with a woman in white at the edge.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in orange-red robes, his bare feet resting on a gold footstool. His long hair falls to his shoulders and he holds his hands out in greeting. A man in a white kurta and an older man in white with an orange shawl bow forward to clasp his hands.
