A photograph of an abhishekam ritual on a raised golden throne draped in orange and gold cloth, set before a red and gold brocade backdrop with gold tinsel swags. A seated figure in an orange robe with a gold crown and a long red-and-white flower garland sits with palms pressed together in namaskar. Four men in white dhotis and orange shawls raise silver vessels above his head, pouring liquid over him, while a woman in an orange shawl and light teal sari kneels at the lower right beside a flower arrangement and brass items. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears long swept-back hair, a gold crown and an orange robe with ornate gold trim, and the page identifies this event as the 2007 Jayanti celebration with abhishekam, so the in-person candidate is recorded as probable.
