A man in orange robes with a red sleeveless undershirt sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with a garland of yellow, red and white flowers and red tiger-striped cushions, smiling and gesturing with his hands. The appearance of this seated figure is consistent with the a person candidate, with long swept hair and saffron clothing, though the identification is uncertain. Before him, a man in orange robes and a shorter-haired man in white kneel and bow. Behind them, a woman in an orange top rests her hand on her cheek, and a woman in a white sari and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers stand at the right. A water bottle sits on a white-draped table at the left, and a painted orange backdrop fills the background.2009-07-25July 17 20092009-07-17A photograph of a padapuja ceremony on a stage with a red and pink backdrop.

A woman in white with an orange shawl stands at the left, a woman in a grey-blue saree stands at the right, and other women in white sarees stand at the far right with hands folded in reverence.

Before the throne, women in white and yellow-bordered saris kneel and assist with offerings, a man in white kneels with a brass tray, and a man in a white shirt with orange sash holds a camera to the left.

Seven or so people sit on the stage floor in front: a young man in white shawl with ash markings, women in blue, yellow-bordered white saris and seated men in white, several with cameras and tripods and a monitor in the foreground. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides of the throne and offerings are arranged before the sitters. The figure on the throne has long hair and a rudraksha mala, matching the Swamiji (probable) cues of saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is an appearance-based candidate only.2011-01-26
