A man in a saffron-red turban and orange-gold draped cloth stands beside a silver-embossed throne, bare-shouldered, wearing gold-beaded necklaces and a gold armband, with hands joined in front of his chest. He appears to be a probable Swamiji, with the rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces and saffron turban as cues. Behind him, a silver kalasha-style vessel is decorated with white jasmine garlands and red flowers, and women in white and orange sit in the background with other devotees in a dim night setting.

Before the figure stands a silver vessel decorated with white jasmine garlands and pink and red flowers on a tray. The figure sits on an ornate silver-framed chair. Behind, a seated man in saffron wears a rudraksha mala and a small microphone, and several devotees sit in the dark background with lights glowing. Probable Swamiji is shown in appearance-based cues of a turban, gold ornaments and ceremonial dress, performing aarti with an oil lamp. Several other people are visible, some partly obscured.2014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at night. A man seated on an ornate silver throne wears a rust-red turban with a tilak on his forehead, a bare upper body with a saffron-gold shawl, long beaded rudraksha malas, a gold necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and holds a silver cup as water pours over a silver kalasha garlanded with white flowers and red petals. Behind him, a standing attendant in a rust-red robe with a golden sash holds a silver vessel. Another person is partly visible at the right edge. The page identifies the seated man as Swamiji, so this is a probable match based on the turban, ornate gold jewellery, rudraksha malas and saffron-coloured clothing; the attendant is a priest or devotee.2014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20
