A stage photo before a deep maroon velvet curtain with a gold fringe valance. A seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban, wearing a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, raises one hand in blessing toward a man standing behind him. That standing man wears a brown and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl and a saffron-tinted cloth, and holds a white flower garland. On the left, a red throne with golden lion-head armrests. On the right, a man in a cream suit and red tie sits in an orange armchair, and a bald man in saffron robes smiles behind them. The seated orange-robed figure has long swept-back hair and ornate cues, so the appearance is a person candidate, seated in an honoured position while receiving garlanding.

A man on the right, with long dark hair swept back, bare-chested and wearing an orange shawl with a brown and gold lower garment, smiles broadly and reaches out with both hands toward a seated man on the left. The seated man wears an orange turban, orange robes and a white flower garland, and smiles back with palms raised. Behind them, another man in orange and a bald-headed man in orange sit in the background, and an orange upholstered armchair fills the lower foreground. The shawl-wearing figure has distinctive long hair and orange clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance.2013-10-20Photograph of a stage with dark red velvet drapes and orange upholstered thrones. In the foreground, a man in a cream suit and white trousers, wearing a white flower garland, stands turned away with one hand raised toward a seated figure. Beside him, a man in an orange shawl and brown-and-gold dhoti stands with his back to the camera, with a shaved-headed man in orange and another in light blue nearby. A small wooden stool holds a red cloth. The orange-clad figures include a possible a person candidate, but the visible cues are limited to an orange shawl and gold-bordered dhoti, so identity remains uncertain.2013-10-20Photograph of a ceremonial moment on an outdoor stage under a white tent. A woman in a rust-red turban and rust-red wrap holds a gold ceremonial staff or sceptre with red-and-gold tassels toward a seated figure in bright orange robes on an orange throne. A bald man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands on the right with his hands joined in namaste. Behind them a figure in white with a white turban stands near a gilded throne; ornate gold thrones and a floral garland decorate the background, and a few other men in white and orange are visible at the edges. Four or more people are clearly visible, so the count range is 6-20 only if all partially visible figures are counted; the clearly visible people number about six.2015-01-13
