A photograph of a ceremony on a gilded throne with red cushions. A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe with green-and-gold border, white flower garlands, rudraksha beads and a red tilak, places his right hand over a brass tray of yellow turmeric or rice held by a kneeling attendant. The attendant wears an orange shawl with maroon border, glasses and a matching orange head covering. A microphone stands beside them against a white wall with red lotus scroll painting. Another orange-clad figure is partly visible at the upper left. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, with long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garlands, presiding over the ritual on the throne.

A standing attendant in saffron robes with a gold chain and a long beard stands at left. Red flowers lie at the throne's base, and a white wall with a red lotus-scroll painting forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is identified from the long hair, saffron robes, ornate gold necklace and throne seating.2009-12-26A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and lion-head details, draped in red cushions. He wears saffron-orange robes, a white and multicoloured flower garland, a rudraksha mala with gold beads, and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he gestures with both hands while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Behind him, a second figure in orange robes and a gold necklace stands at the left edge, and a white wall is painted with red lotus motifs. At the right edge, a seated person in orange holds a brass plate of yellow flowers or offerings.

A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers.
