A seated figure on an ornate golden throne wears a red-orange turban with a small jewelled ornament, rudraksha mala necklaces, gold chains, bangles and armlets, and a red-orange wrap over a dark garment; the figure extends a hand toward a wooden table laden with fruit and a yellow offering. Facing them, a man in a white shirt sits with palms joined in respect. Behind, saffron-robed priests with white vibhuti markings on their foreheads and arms stand and kneel near a golden ritual setting and a red draped backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's turban, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments match the candidate cues, and the figure is presented as the central honoured person of the satsang-style ritual.

A photograph of a ritual exchange on a stage with a gold-trimmed throne. A seated figure on the left wears an orange-red turban, orange and yellow robes, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and bracelets; he smiles and extends his hands to receive an offering. Another kneeling man in orange and yellow with a rudraksha mala and a shaved head sits in the centre, watching. On the right, a man in white with yellow tilak and a rudraksha mala leans forward to hand over a small object. Brass oil lamps stand behind them and attendants in orange and white with gold necklaces stand at the back. Only the seated central figure's appearance is distinctive, but the page does not place a person at this event, so identity is unsure. +1 copiesMay 10 20152015-05-10May 10 20152015-05-10A photograph in an ornate hall shows a woman seated on a large gold-carved throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange-and-saffron robe with yellow border, a maroon turban, multiple gold and bead necklaces, and gold armbands.
