A woman in a white garment with gold border, bangles and a tray sits at the left, and an attendant in white stands at the right beside a gilded lamp stand and a microphone stand. The scene resembles a ritual honouring at a throne, with a probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne wearing a turban, flower garland, bangles and orange clothing, and the presence is an appearance-based candidate rather than a confirmed identification.2015-11-10A photograph of a seated man in a red turban and red-and-saffron robes, with a rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, on an ornate golden throne flanked by carved lion heads.

Two attendants in front: one in white with gold border and a long-haired head seen from behind, and one in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala, who receives or offers a small yellow item. Behind them are gold lamp stands and a tray of offerings, sweets and flowers. The page flags a person at this event; the seated figure's cues include a turban, garland and ornate gold clothing, but face-free appearance is uncertain, so the candidate is marked unsure.2015-11-10July 13 20152015-07-13
