A photograph of a ceremonial stage in front of an ornate golden shrine with a gilded arch and a hanging canopy. A seated figure in a deep red-maroon turban, red-orange shawl with gold border, and a rudraksha mala stands at centre, smiling, receiving a silver tray or plate from a man in a yellow shirt and orange dhoti on the right.

A man at left with bare upper body wears a red-brown shawl and rudraksha beads. The centre figure has distinctive long hair and ornate adornments, a person by visible cues, but identity is uncertain from appearance. A white tent backdrop hangs behind the stage.2015-01-13January 13 20152015-01-13Photograph of a ceremonial honouring on a stage with an ornate golden shrine-style backdrop. A seated figure in a red-maroon robe and matching turban-style headwear, with a red and gold shawl draped over the shoulders, receives attention. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers leans forward offering a folded document or paper, while a man in a yellow shirt and white shoulder cloth holds up a silver tray. Behind them, figures in saffron and orange robes and a young attendant in an orange turban and rudraksha mala sit or stand. The figure in red is seated on a throne-like chair; the presence of a rudraksha mala and ceremonial shawl are the only cues and are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the seated figure is recorded as unsure. Counting visible physical people, roughly eight are shown.2015-01-13May 14 20152015-05-14September 11 20152015-09-11January 13 20152015-01-13A photograph of a stage event with orange-draped chairs and a gilded ornamental arch with a canopy behind.
