A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a white-and-multicolour garland pours water from a silver pot over a tiered crystal-like Maha Meru sculpture on a brass tray. The person sits on a white-draped platform with an orange cloth behind. Behind them, a deity murti is adorned with flower garlands, gold ornaments and jewellery. A bangle and a rudraksha-style mala are visible. To the right, a partly visible person in white clothing watches. The scene resembles an abhishekam offering to the Maha Meru.

Close photo of a person in saffron-orange robes cradling an ornate silver bowl of milky white liquid in both hands. A heavy gold bead necklace hangs over the orange cloth, and a red-and-beige sacred thread bracelet is visible on one wrist. White ash lines mark the upper arms. Silver vessels with engraved designs sit in the foreground beneath the hands, and a partly visible red-and-gold textile appears at the edge. The only physical person visible is the one holding the bowl; the body is cropped at the neck and waist, so the face is not shown.

A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes pouring water from a silver vessel onto a golden Maha Meru, a tiered pyramid-shaped sacred object on a metal tray. The figure wears a white flower garland with red, blue and pink strands, a rudraksha-style bead bracelet, a gold necklace and a red tilak on the forehead, with long dark hair. Behind are draped orange and red cloths and a garland-decorated deity area. Two partially visible people sit at the left and right edges, one in white. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, a rudraksha bracelet and ceremonial gold necklace, and is performing the abhishekam at the Maha Meru, so in_person.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe pours water from a silver vessel over a golden stepped Maha Meru pyramid on a gold tray, during an abhishekam-style offering. He wears a white and multicoloured flower garland, has a red tilak on his forehead, and white sacred ash markings on his arms. A figure in a white dhoti sits at the right edge. Behind, orange and red cloth and a decorated deity murti with gold ornaments are visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back dark hair, saffron clothing and a flower garland, cues consistent with the page's claim, so this is an in-person candidate with appearance-based uncertainty.
