Three men stand before a painted backdrop of a large banyan tree with green foliage. On the left, a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robes wears long rudraksha malas, a gold necklace with a pendant, gold bangles and a gold armband, and holds his hands folded at his waist; this person has long swept-back hair and distinctive ornate adornments, a person candidate. In the centre, a bald, bare-chested older priest with a tilak and red bindi wears gold bead necklaces, a sacred thread and a yellow-green dhoti with a red sash. On the right, a bald man in white clothes and a tan shawl wears an event badge on a lanyard and carries items at his side.

The man on the left wears an orange turban, saffron-orange draped garment, a long rudraksha mala, multiple gold necklaces and a red bindi, with his hands clasped at his waist; his appearance matches the presentation cues for Swamiji (probable), so this is a photograph of a person presenting as him. The man on the right wears a white shirt and a beige shawl over his shoulders, an event lanyard badge, a yellow cloth and a purple cloth over one arm, and holds a small white booklet. A partially visible person in orange robes stands at the far right edge, and a cream cloth draped over a seat appears at lower left.2013-02-11March 01 20132013-03-01February 11 20132013-02-11May 18 20122012-05-18Photograph of three saffron-clad men standing indoors before a marble-panelled wall.

In the centre, a man in an orange turban, orange shawl and layered gold necklace holds a silver tray with a small object on it, while speaking. To his left, a bare-chested, shaved-headed priest with white and red tilak and gold beaded necklace walks ahead. To the right, a shaved-headed man in orange-brown robes and a rudraksha mala holds the other side of the tray. Behind them, devotees and onlookers press close, and hanging gold and green decorations, bells and lamps are visible. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the central man is described by role.2013-02-11
