A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with ornate gold-and-pink panelled backdrop and floral garlands of red, orange and white flowers. A seated figure on a red throne wears a white turban, a white and gold shawl and a multicoloured flower garland, with a red garland at the chest. Around the throne, several people in white clothes and orange-saffron shawls kneel and bend over a low table covered with scattered petals, while a woman in a white sari stands at right. The scene appears to be a padapuja or honouring ceremony with flower offerings on the platform.

To the left, a young man in an orange shawl and rudraksha mala looks upward, and on the right a woman in an orange shawl and a girl in an orange shawl also sit close, one with hands together in prayer. Scattered petals and water bottles are visible in the foreground.2006-12-17A photograph of a floral-decorated stage in a hall, with a gilded arch of white, yellow, orange and red flowers over an ornate white-and-gold panelled backdrop. A long-haired man in white robes and a saffron/orange shawl stands on an orange-cushioned seat as several devotees in white shirts, white dhotis and sarees gather around him, one man with folded hands. A woman in a white saree with a red bindi stands at right, and a seated woman in a white saree with an orange shawl attends at the foot of the seat, with a white cloth spread on the floor. Strong resemblance to a person in appearance, identified by appearance only (probable). The long hair, white robes and saffron shawl are the cues.2006-12-17December 17 20062006-12-17A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion is receiving honour during a Guru Purnima celebration. The seated person wears an orange-saffron garment and a white-and-red flower garland, with dark swept-back hair and a sincere, composed expression. Two devotees in white kneel on a bed of rose and marigold petals, one leaning in to offer the garland, while a monk in orange robes stands behind the throne and another monk in orange sits at the right edge. The throne is decorated with gold filigree, and the backdrop features a yellow flower motif on a white beaded panel. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by saffron clothing, swept-back hair and a garland of flowers.2008-07-17December 17 20062006-12-17
