Photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe standing on a red-cushioned, flower-decorated golden throne under a metal-roofed pavilion. He wears a long red and white garland and a rudraksha mala, with long swept-back hair, and smiles toward the crowd. Beside him a man in white clothes holds a yellow and white flower garland, while a woman in white with an orange shawl and red bindi stands at left, and another woman with a white-marked forehead peers in behind. A white-clad attendant bends near the golden base decorated with white, pink and orange flower swags. A cameraman is visible in the background. Saffron robes and rudraksha cues are consistent with the page's a person reference.

December 30 20072007-12-30December 30 20062006-12-30A photograph under a white metal-framed tent roof shows a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe standing on a red-cushioned golden throne decorated with garlands of pink, red, yellow and white flowers. He wears a pink and white garland around his neck. Around him, men in white dhotis and orange shawls and women in white saris stand close, while photographers with cameras in the foreground record the moment. A green and red striped mat covers the floor.2006-12-30December 30 20072007-12-30December 30 20072007-12-30December 30 20072007-12-30A seated man in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair, a white flower in his hair, a multi-coloured garland of white, red and green flowers, and a rudraksha mala, sits barefoot on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a carved crest. The throne and the floor around it are covered in yellow, pink and white flower petals and garlands. A standing young man in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a mala stands at left, and women in white sarees with dark rudraksha necklaces stand at right, one holding flowers and others clapping. A wooden cane leans against the throne. The background is dark blue draping. Several more people are partially visible behind the throne.2007-12-25A seated man in an orange-saffron robe with a white flower garland and long dark hair smiles on a red cushioned seat beside an ornate gold-embossed throne back. Marigold and rose garlands in yellow, purple and red hang from the gilded structure. Around him, people in orange and red clothing crowd a white tented pavilion; a woman in red holds a tray of red flowers, and a man in the lower right wears a grey shirt. The scene resembles a birthday celebration with garlands and offerings in a tented hall.2008-01-01December 30 20072007-12-30July 29 20072007-07-29Photograph taken under a corrugated metal shelter during an evening gathering. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe stands on an ornate gold throne draped with red, yellow and white flower garlands, wearing a large red-and-white garland and a rudraksha mala; his long swept-back hair and ceremonial adornments are the appearance cues here, and the throne suggests he is being honoured (a person). To the right, a man in white ritual clothes with a visitor badge stands with hands clasped. On the left, several people in white dhotis and orange shawls, one smiling older woman among them, stand with palms together. The floor is a striped green-and-red mat scattered with petals.2007-12-30A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate throne heavily decorated with white, yellow, orange and red flower garlands. A silver-toned pedestal sits beneath the throne, and a person in white clothing kneels at the lower left, tending the seated figure's feet. A second white-clad attendant is partly visible at the lower right. The figure wears a flower garland across the shoulders and a saffron wrap, and smiles with eyes lowered. The scene reads as a padapuja or paada pooja ceremony at a Guru Poornima event. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing and flower-garlanded throne match the page's description of a Guru Poornima padapuja, so this seated figure is treated as the Swamiji candidate.2007-07-29
