A photograph from a ceremony where a seated man on a gilded throne is being honoured. He wears a cream and gold ceremonial outfit, a tan turban topped with a crown and peacock feather, a long white and pink flower garland, and holds a silver trident. The throne is draped in red fabric and decorated with garlands of marigolds and roses. Behind him is a painted orange mountain backdrop. A young boy in a striped shirt and red shorts offers flowers. A man in orange robes and a man in white shirt and mundu stand beside the throne, and a woman in a white sari with gold border stands at left beside a table of fruit and a box. Two men in orange and white clothing stand at right, one in a white shirt holding a flower, another in orange robes. The seated man has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, consistent with the page's reference to a person, though the appearance is only partly compatible.

A photograph of a seated figure on a large gold throne with red cushions, draped in garlands of white, pink and yellow flowers, with a trident leaning against the throne. The seated man wears a cream and gold robe, a pale turban topped with a decorative crown and peacock feather, and a pink and white flower garland across his chest. He holds a white flower in one hand and smiles. Flanking him, a woman in a white sari stands at left beside a table of fruit, and a man in orange robes with long swept-back hair, holding a camera, stands at right. A man in white clothes leans in, and a small boy in a striped shirt bends forward near the throne. Flower petals cover the red carpet, and a painted orange mountain backdrop fills the background. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure are a crown, turban, ornate gold-and-cream clothing and a trident, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person seated on the throne.2009-08-16A seated man on a gilded throne with a red cushion, draped in a pink and white flower garland and a long white garland, wearing a crown with a peacock feather and a cream-coloured wrap and turban.
