Photograph of a stage ceremony under bright lights. A bearded man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rust-brown robe, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and a garland of white flowers, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a folded white paper and reading from it. Before him a young man kneels bare-chested in a white dhoti with a yellow cloth bundle, and a young man in saffron robes with a beaded mala kneels beside him. A woman in a purple and gold sari kneels to the right. A shirtless attendant in a white dhoti stands at left, a long golden trident rises behind the throne, and a red and purple floor mat covers the stage. The swamiji candidate is a probable match: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklaces and rust-brown ceremonial robe, seated on the throne as the presiding figure.

A central figure with long dark hair and a beard sits on an ornate gold throne, wearing a saffron-brown robe and a pink-and-white flower garland, smiling. Around him, several young men in white dhotis and white shirts kneel or sit on a red carpet, some with hands raised in gestures of respect. A younger attendant in a white dhoti with gold borders kneels near the throne. Behind the group stands a tall golden trident (trishul) and a golden kalasha-style finial. A man in a saffron shawl with rudraksha beads sits at the left edge. The throne suggests a formal darshan setting.2017-04-02
