A photograph on a stage decorated with flower garlands and golden lion sculptures. A man in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back hair and a tilak-marked face places a flower garland around the neck of a person bowing low in a gold shawl and ornate gold garment. Two men in maroon and gold dhotis with ceremonial bracelets and white tilak marks stand nearby; one wears a rudraksha-style necklace. Ornate gold and jewelled decorations frame the background. The orange-robed man in the centre has distinctive long hair and saffron clothing consistent with a person appearance, though this is uncertain from the image alone.

In the centre, an elderly man with white hair and white sandalwood marks on his forehead wears a tall gold crown, a white flower garland with red flowers, a gold chain and a saffron cloth, and stands before a bowing figure. That bowing figure wears a golden crown and a saffron-orange brocade shawl, and is leaning forward with the older man's hand near the shawl. Behind them stand several saffron-clad attendants with tilak marks and beaded necklaces, one in a gold-trimmed crown, and a gold ornate panel stands at the left. On the right, a man in white with folded hands watches, and a cameraman is partly visible at the edge.2012-04-29September 15 20152015-09-15 +1 copiesFebruary 22 20132013-02-22 +1 copiesAugust 11 20092009-08-11A photograph of a stage event with an ornate gold throne and a red-draped chair in the foreground. A figure with long dark hair, a yellow marigold garland, a leopard-print skirt over a rust-red garment and a tilak on the forehead holds up a long red-orange cloth draped over the shoulders of a bald man in pale peach robes and an orange shawl, who bows with palms pressed together. Behind them a banner shows ancient temple spires. On the right an older man in an orange robe and glasses stands with hands folded. A silver trident leans on the left. The figure presenting the cloth shows distinctive long hair, a garland and rust-red robes; this is an appearance-based candidate for a person, shown as a presenter of honour in an in-person setting, with the bowing man as a devotee receiving the cloth.2014-05-20January 03 20162016-01-03
