A photograph of a seated figure in a red-brown robe wearing a tall white crown with gold trim, draped in heavy garlands of white jasmine and pink and red flowers, with pink petals strewn across the floor before him. A bare-chested priest with rudraksha beads on his arm and a white dhoti stands at left, a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti at back, and a woman in a red sari with hands folded at the rear. A woman in a white and gold sari kneels at right beside a man in a white shirt. Orange and red drapes, a fan, a desk with books and a laptop, and a framed picture form the background. The crowned figure resembles the a person candidate in appearance, with a crown and garlanded robe, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.

A seated bearded man in a rust-red robe sits on a raised seat at the centre, wearing a tall decorated crown and heavy garlands of white jasmine and red-pink flowers, with flower petals spread over his lap and the seat. Men in front, one bare-chested with rudraksha beads and another in a white shirt, lean forward holding green fruit, presumably offering it in a ritual. Behind them a man in white dhoti with an orange sash stands with hands joined, a woman in a red sari stands with palms together, and two women in cream sarees with gold borders stand at right beside a television. An orange and red draped backdrop with floral garlands fills the background. The seated man appears to be a person, given the crown, flower garlands and robe presentation, but identity is uncertain.2017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02April 02 20172017-04-02A photograph of a ceremonial welcome at an indoor event with an orange and red draped backdrop.
