A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a matching orange turban and a rudraksha mala sits on a silver-framed throne in front of a gilded stage. Behind him stands a golden bull (Nandi) with a garland of yellow and orange flowers, flanked by golden standing female figures and two decorated deity murti in gold arches with yellow and orange garlands. Along the front of the stage are rows of brass vessels with leaves, fruit and offerings, and strings of lamps line the edges. Red curtains and string lights frame the scene, consistent with a Karthigai Deepam celebration. A microphone stands beside the throne.

December 02 20172017-12-02A photo of a gold-and-silver temple-style stage decorated with marigold and yellow flower garlands and rows of lit lamps. A seated man in a rust-red robe with a red turban and rudraksha mala sits on a silver throne, raising one hand in a gesture of teaching. Behind him stands a golden bull figure and a gold deity murti with a crown, flanked by golden standing attendant statues and two side shrines holding seated deity figures in garlands. Brass vessels with fruit and offerings are arranged in front of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a red turban, rudraksha mala and red robe, matching the event context of a Karthigai Deepam satsang.2017-12-02A photograph of a golden temple-style stage decorated with string lights and striped fabric canopies. A seated man in the centre wears a rust-orange turban, orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, seated on a silver-backed throne before a silver-framed deity murti with garlands. Behind him stand golden figures flanking a golden bull statue, and a woman deity on the right is draped in a green-and-gold garment with marigold garlands. Two attendants in orange cloth stand at left, one touching the scene, and rows of brass kalashas filled with fruit, flowers and coconuts are arranged on the floor in front. The Swamiji identity rests on appearance cues: the turban, orange robe and rudraksha mala are visible, so this is a probable Swamiji depiction in person.2017-12-02December 02 20172017-12-02December 02 20172017-12-02December 02 20172017-12-02December 02 20172017-12-02A photograph of a golden-decorated temple stage hung with string lights and red drapes.

He sits on a silver throne in front of a gilded bull (Nandi) and a gold-framed deity murti garlanded with yellow and red flowers. Gold standing figures flank the throne, and seated deities garlanded with flowers sit in gold-arched niches on each side. Rows of brass vessels with fruit and offerings, and gold oil lamps, fill the foreground, while strings of lights and colourful cloth canopies hang overhead. The seated man is an appearance-based probable candidate with his red-robed, rudraksha-adorned presentation and turban, so the Swamiji candidate is recorded as in_person.2017-12-02
