A celebratory photo at an indoor event. A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, draped in a garland of white jasmine, red and yellow flowers, wears saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a sandalwood/kumkum mark, smiling and raising one arm. Around him stand about a dozen devotees in white kurtas and orange shawls, clapping and raising hands; the central man in white with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala holds a pink gift box aloft. Pink gift boxes and a white cake with red petals sit on a table, and golden figurines flank the throne beneath hanging flower garlands and a dark drape.

December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25A photograph of a celebration at a cake table. A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne chair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a long white jasmine garland with red flower accents, and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, holds out a small pink gift box to a young man in white. Around the table, a group of young men in white shirts and white dhotis, many with orange headbands, clap and gesture. A large white-iced cake sits on the table in front, with pink gift boxes, brass figurines and a small red flower decoration. Gold-framed floral decorations hang above. A visible backdrop of dark blue drapery surrounds the scene.2007-12-25A seated man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a white and red flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion, raising his hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. Around him, several young men in white ceremonial dhotis and cream kurtas with orange shawls stand and clap, one holding a pink gift box. Marigold and red flower garlands decorate the throne back, and a gold lion figure sits at the base. A dark backdrop hangs behind the group. The person on the throne matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate with saffron robes, rudraksha mala and garland, so this is a probable identification, present in person.2007-12-25January 01 20092009-01-01December 25 20072007-12-25December 25 20072007-12-25Photograph of an ornate gold throne with a red velvet back, draped in colourful flower garlands of white, yellow, red and purple. Seated on the throne is a smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange robe and a white and red flower garland. Standing around him are several young men in white kurtas with orange shawls; one in front holds a small pink gift box, and a man in the centre holds a wooden walking stick and wears a mala necklace. A blue curtain forms the backdrop.2007-12-25July 07 20092009-07-07January 01 20092009-01-01A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a multicoloured flower garland receiving a small wrapped gift from a woman in a white top who kneels before him. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a bare-shouldered orange garment and a red-and-white floral garland, and sits on a gold-ornate throne with cushions. Behind him stand two men in orange: one with a shaved head and orange cloth, wearing a gold necklace, and another with long hair and a gold pendant. Flower garlands in red and orange drape the backdrop, and a gold-framed panel decorates the wall. A small child's hand is visible near the woman. Presentation of gifts before a throne suggests a darshan or prasad offering; the seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a flower garland and ceremonial gold ornaments.2009-12-24July 17 20082008-07-17
