The boy wears rudraksha mala necklaces and a pendant chain; the man wears a rudraksha mala and a white shawl with gold edge. Behind them a figure in orange robe and another in white stand near a wooden chair with red flowers.

A seated man with long dark hair, a white forehead band, rudraksha malas and a gold-toned ceremonial necklace wears saffron-orange clothing and reaches out to a boy in an orange shirt and dark trousers, who holds small wrapped sweets or offerings in both hands. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace smiles, and a red tray of sweets sits nearby. A gold-framed throne back stands at right, a spotlight glows at left, and seated women in white saris are in the background. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in the centre of the ceremony.2012-09-03A close crop of a bare-chested man in orange clothing holding white flowers in joined palms in front of a plain mauve backdrop. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a silver-toned ceremonial chain across the chest, rudraksha bracelets on the wrist, and a gold ring on one finger. His eyes are lowered and his mouth is slightly open, as if chanting. The visible appearance does not clearly establish the a person candidate, so the identity is left uncertain.2018-04-27February 13 20182018-02-13A photo of a long-haired man with a white tilak on his forehead, wearing layered rudraksha malas, large white-beaded ceremonial necklaces and a leopard-print shawl over saffron clothing, extending a hand toward a young boy in an orange t-shirt who holds a bundle of red and white wrapped offerings and a rudraksha mala. A red satin curtain hangs behind them and a red box with papers sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the man in the foreground, identified by long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, ceremonial necklaces and saffron clothing; he is receiving or blessing the offering from a child. A second child stands partly visible at the right edge.2012-09-09September 03 20122012-09-03Close-up photo of a padapuja-style moment: a child's hand in a white embroidered sleeve rests on the bare orange-toned leg of a seated figure, while an adult's hand in an orange sleeve gently holds the child's fingers. Behind them are garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. The seated figure is shown only from the knee down, so no face is visible; the appearance is too limited to confirm who it is, and only hands and limbs are shown.2009-12-24July 06 20172017-07-06December 12 20162016-12-12
