A photograph of a doorway framed with yellow and red marigold garlands, a white ribbon strung across it, and a bamboo pole overhead. A young man in an orange turban, orange-and-gold robe, long hair and a heavy gold necklace stands in the doorway holding a brass tray of fruit (oranges, apple) and a pair of scissors, smiling with eyes closed. Around him, men in white dhotis and shirts stand close, including one in white with a rudraksha mala, and a man on the right holding the tray's edge. The setting is a hillside with green shrubs and rocky terrain. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe and gold necklace match the appearance cues for the Swamiji candidate, who is physically present.

A photograph of a doorway decorated with yellow and magenta flower garlands and a white ribbon stretched across it. A man in an orange turban, orange robes, a gold-coloured sash and a heavy gold necklace stands at the threshold holding a brass tray of fruit, marigolds and red flowers, with scissors resting on the tray. Several men in white dhotis and shirts crowd around, including one holding the other end of the tray and another raising an arm near a bamboo pole with rope.

A bamboo pole and rope hang above, with a hillside behind. This is a ribbon-cutting opening ceremony.

At centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears a gold headband with a red bindi, a thick white and red flower garland, and a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, with a gold bracelet on his wrist. Around him, saffron-clad attendants wear gold ornamental necklaces with pendants; one on the left has a pendant bearing a small picture. On the right, a man in glasses holds a gilded trident-shaped staff decorated with pastel balloons. Palm trees and a building appear behind the group. Several people are visible; the central figure has distinctive long hair, headband, saffron robe and floral garland, so the appearance-based candidate label applies as Swamiji (probable), shown in procession.2008-12-24A smiling man in a saffron-orange robe wears a long white and red flower garland and a red bindi on his forehead. He stands at a lilac ribbon stretched across the scene, while a man in white to the left holds a tray of flower petals and a man behind him presses his palms together in namaste.
