Night outdoor event where a seated person in an orange-red turban and saffron robe, wearing a long orange and white floral garland with a rudraksha mala, receives small cards from a young man in white dhoti with gold border and a sacred thread, bare-chested with a white tilak on his forehead and rudraksha beads. A woman in a red-brown saree and mala stands behind, and a golden ornate throne with a red cushion frames the scene, with banana leaves and a striped decorative hanging in the background. A golden figurine sits on the cushion beside the cards.

She wears a white vertical tilak on her forehead, a red and black beaded necklace and bangles, and stands before a golden throne-like seat. Behind them a woman in a maroon sari with a beaded mala sits beside a golden deity-form or ornate vessel, and a large crowd is visible in the dark background. Green banana leaves and a decorated orange-and-green cloth hang above. A white badge is pinned to the young woman's dress.2015-08-09August 09 20152015-08-09A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange robe, wearing a multicoloured floral garland with green, white, red and orange blooms and a blue-and-red bead garland, sits on a red tiger-striped cushion before a gold throne. He smiles and extends his right hand toward a young boy kneeling on the right, who wears a white dhoti with gold border, a rudraksha mala and white tripundra on his forehead, and holds a small object while a brass plate with a tray sits on the red cloth. A standing young attendant in a white dhoti with gold border, rudraksha beads and a white forehead mark watches at right. Behind them a banana plant, a painted pillar with floral and bird motifs, and a seated crowd fill the dim hall.

He holds a small wooden-framed card or envelope in both hands while a younger man in white dhoti and shirt with a white tilak on the forehead and a lanyard badge leans forward to hand him a small paper item. A golden vessel or idol stands on the table in front of them. Behind, a bearded man in white with rudraksha mala and a white headband watches, and a banana-leaf decoration and a patterned banner hang in the background against a dark night setting.2015-08-09August 09 20152015-08-09A photograph taken at night at an outdoor event. On the left, a person seated on a red cushioned throne with ornate golden carved back and a golden lion-like armrest sits wearing a red-orange turban, orange-red robes, gold jewellery and a multicoloured garland of orange, green, white and red flowers; they smile and gesture toward a golden plate. Facing them on the right stands a young person in white robes with gold borders, a rudraksha mala, a white tripundra mark on the forehead and a red bindi, holding a yellow card in folded hands. Two silver trays with small bowls sit on a low table, with a green banana-leaf backdrop and a decorated pillar behind. Crowd members are faintly visible in the background.2015-08-09A seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-orange robe sits on a gold ornate throne, wearing a long garland of orange, white and red flowers with a blue bead ornament, and bangles on the wrist. The figure holds out a small gold-edged card to a man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a white tilak on his forehead and a visitor badge, who reaches forward to receive it. Behind them a gold-and-red ceremonial setting, a green-and-orange hanging cloth, and a person in orange robes and rudraksha beads stand in the background, with a small brass vessel and rose petals on a tray in the foreground. Two people in white shirts with tilaks and badges stand at right. The figure's appearance with turban, saffron clothing, garland and throne is consistent with Swamiji (probable), seated and giving a blessing to a devotee.2015-08-09
