A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas, seated on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests under a white and red tent. A woman in white with a red-bordered sari kneels before him, touching his hand, while a bare-chested man in orange with a yellow and white bead necklace stands behind. Several women in orange and saffron garments with beaded necklaces, some holding offerings, gather around, and more devotees in white stand in the background. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate based on his long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and garland. The scene resembles a devotional puja or padapuja at a festival setting.2016-01-03A photograph of a ceremonial gathering under a red-and-white tent.

Before him, a bald man in white ceremonial clothes with a gold-threaded white dhoti stands with a long gold plate of offerings and a gold kalasha-like vessel. Around them, a white-clad man with a bead necklace, an elderly man in orange with white beard, saffron-robed sannyasis with tripundra markings, and devotees in white stand attentively. The scene reads as a formal darshan or puja, with cameras and a crowd behind.
