A photo of a seated bearded man in a rust-orange robe and tall white crown with a rudraksha-style red-and-white garland, heavily garlanded with red roses and white flower strands, seated on a red cloth before a small table of offerings, boxes of sweets and rose petals. Around him a group stands in a decorated room with orange and red draped fabric and garlands: a woman in a white saree with gold border covers her mouth, another in white and gold saree holds a red rose bouquet, a woman in a green-and-gold saree and a young man in a white dhoti stand nearby, a small girl in pink top and purple skirt sits in front, and an older man in a pink checked shirt and wristwatch presses his palms together in greeting at right. A pedestal fan and a television stand behind them, and a woman in a rust saree with a red garland watches from the background. Five people visible in the first group plus additional attendees, one seated devotee at lower left, and the garlanded central figure, a ceremonial reception scene.

A photograph of a seated bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and a white-and-gold crown, wearing a heavy garland of white jasmine and red roses and holding a green fruit. Behind him hangs an orange and red drape with floral garlands. A shirtless priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left with palms pressed in namaste. Several women in white and cream saffron-bordered saris stand and sit nearby, one holding red roses, and a young girl in a pink top and purple skirt sits at right. Flower petals scatter the floor, with a copper vessel and a wicker basket in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, a crown and a heavy garland, a presentation consistent with the page's identification.2017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02A photograph of a seated figure wearing a rust-brown robe and a tall white-and-gold crown, draped in thick garlands of white jasmine, red roses and green leaves.

A saffron-orange drape hangs behind, with a fan and a red-petalled floor. A woman at lower left sits with a brass vessel, and rose petals cover the floor. The scene reads as devotional honouring.
