A shaved-headed priest in maroon and gold-bordered robes stands barefoot on a red carpet, holding a small brass-coloured object to a richly gilded shrine with carved deity figures, lion-headed pillars, elephant and horse friezes, and string lights. A dark rudraksha mala hangs at his neck. The priest is seen from behind, so no face is visible; no other people are present.

In the foreground, a man in a white shirt, seen from behind with his shorter hair, raises a lit camphor flame toward him in aarti, while silver lamps and offering plates with flower petals sit below. Golden floral carvings and a red and yellow draped backdrop with marigold garlands frame the scene. The orange-robed seated man has long swept-back hair, a red tilak, rudraksha mala and saffron robes, matching the page's cues for the Swamiji candidate, so the appearance-based label applies.2010-08-10 +1 copiesA man with short dark hair, a white vertical tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and a long rudraksha mala with an additional arm band sits on an ornate golden throne with a large gold peacock-style backrest and red cushions. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl edged with maroon. His hands are folded in his lap and bare feet rest on a golden platform. A microphone is clipped to the cushion beside him, and trays of pink flowers, fruit and offerings sit in front. Appearance-based a person: the saffron robe, multiple rudraksha malas and ceremonial throne are visible cues, and he is physically present in the scene.2011-02-28A man in a rust-red and saffron-bordered dhoti and upper wrap stands barefoot on an orange-red platform beside an ornate copper-coloured temple bell or lamp stand, pulling down orange rope cords with both hands. He wears a brown rudraksha-style mala around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. The bronze stand has carved floral and arch reliefs and a panel showing a tree motif, with coconut palms behind. The man's appearance is consistent with a presentation the page associates with a person, with cues including a rudraksha mala and saffron-toned clothing, but the face is not clearly visible and identity is uncertain.2013-09-11May 25 20132013-05-25February 22 20112011-02-22 +1 copiesA man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched backrest and lion motifs, on a leopard-print cushion.
