A photograph of a nighttime outdoor ceremony under a pink-and-white tent canopy with a large concentric rosette of yellow, orange, red and green fabric hanging above. A figure with long dark hair wearing an orange robe and a yellow-white garland sits on a white throne against a purple backdrop. In the foreground, about seven men with their backs or sides to the camera, some in checked and striped shirts and white dhotis, face the throne; the older man on the right stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Green leaf festoons and bamboo-like decorations hang at the edges of the tent.

Night photo of an outdoor ceremonial pavilion under a pink-edged canopy hung with green leaves and a large layered red, orange and green circular decoration. A figure in an orange robe with a gold necklace and long dark hair sits on a white throne-like chair against a purple backdrop, with bamboo poles and palm-frond decorations at the sides. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand close to the seated figure, some with folded hands, while people in white and a checked shirt are at the right edge. The figure's appearance is consistent with a presentation-based candidate but cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity; the seated figure is described by role only.2006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17A photograph of an evening event under a tent with a draped ceiling and colourful festoons. On a raised stage with a white arched backdrop and purple curtain, a figure with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange-saffron robe and a beaded necklace, with hands together in front of a seated devotee. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis sit or kneel before the stage, one bowing low with hands joined, and other men in light shirts stand at the side. Foreground devotees with braided hair in white clothes sit facing the stage. Lighting is dim with a hanging lamp at right.2006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17July 17 20062006-07-17A photograph of a stage with a white throne-style chair set against a purple draped backdrop, under a decorative canopy with concentric red, orange, yellow and green rings. A man with long swept-back hair wearing an orange robe, a red forehead mark and a marigold garland sits on the throne, smiling. Several people are gathered in front of the stage: two men in the foreground with their backs to the camera, one wearing a checked shirt, and an older man with white hair and a white flower in it, wearing a white shirt and a black-beaded necklace, bending forward. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, orange robe and garland.2006-07-17
