On the left, a long-haired man with a beard, wearing a rust-orange cloth and a white flower garland, sits with hands folded on an ornate gold-and-red throne, with a golden lion figure at lower right. Two men in white dhotis stand at right, one in a red cloth holding a large yellow offering bowl over the fire. Around the fire, about thirty seated devotees in white clothes sit on striped mats.

A second flower-decked deity murti stands at the right, and a gold-and-red ceremonial palanquin sits at the upper left. Some devotees wear rudraksha-style red beaded necklaces.

Nearby, a row of women in red and orange saris with white garlands sit with hands folded in prayer on the right, while others stand in red and orange clothing at left. Men in white dhotis and orange-striped cloth stand behind, joining their palms. Strings of marigold flowers and bunting hang overhead, and a small colourful deity murti sits at the far right edge. The seated man is an appearance-based candidate for the presenter, but his face and features are not clear enough to confirm, so this is marked unsure.2014-10-03Evening outdoor ritual under a corrugated roof strung with marigold garlands and a hanging brass bell. A man seated on an orange cushioned throne at left wears a white and maroon-red dhoti-style cloth, a white-and-pink flower garland and a pale wrap; his hair is short and he has no visible long or swept-back hair, no crown and no rudraksha, so the appearance cues are insufficient to name him. Nearby, five men in white dhotis with long shawls stand with palms joined. Before a square yellow-painted fire pit, a woman in a pink headcloth bends to tend the flame. Seven women in red, maroon and yellow saris, white garlands and bindis sit in a row to the right, several with hands folded in prayer.

A man with long hair, rudraksha mala and red-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, a microphone on a stand before him; the appearance cues are long hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji in person, though the page only loosely supports it. Around the fire, priests in orange and saffron cloths perform the homa, one tending the flames with a ladle and others holding offering trays of flowers, fruit and bundled sticks. A decorated deity murti garlanded with flowers sits beside the fire, and a large crowd of seated devotees in white clothes fills the ground behind, with sound equipment and a fan at the edge.
