A photograph of a man standing in the centre with both palms raised in greeting, wearing a maroon-and-gold turban with a white feather, a rudraksha-style necklace, and a white flower garland over an orange-and-maroon cloth. Behind him sits a deity murti in a richly embroidered red and gold sari with a gold crown and layered necklaces, seated on a gold throne beside an empty gold throne with maroon cushions and a gold parasol canopy. A painted backdrop shows a temple gopuram, palm trees and a sunset, with brass lamps at the right edge. Two people are visible, the standing man and no other living figure beyond the murti.

October 16 20152015-10-16A standing man in a maroon turban and maroon-and-gold draped robe raises both hands above his head to support an ornate gold tiered umbrella-like canopy with hanging leaf-shaped pendants. He wears a rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial gold necklace and gold bangles, and has a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him is a large ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cloth and maroon cushions, flanked by a gold trident and brass oil lamps on a painted sunset backdrop with palm trees. A red patterned rug covers the floor. The appearance of this figure matches several cues associated with a person, including the maroon robe, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and throne setting, though identity is uncertain.2015-10-22A photograph of a man standing before an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion and maroon cushions, beneath a tiered golden canopy hung with leaf-shaped ornaments. He wears a maroon turban with a red bindi, maroon and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala and a heavy gold necklace, and raises both palms upward toward the canopy with eyes closed and a smile. A golden trident stands at right and a brass lamp stand at far right against a pink sunset backdrop with palm trees. The wearer's appearance matches the page's Swamiji candidate through the maroon turban, rudraksha mala, ornate gold necklace and throne setting, so this is a probable identification.2015-10-22A photo of a seated man in a gold ornate throne with a red-orange turban and saffron-red robe, a white and blue flower garland across his chest, gold bangles on his wrists, and a tiger-striped cloth over the throne.

Brass oil lamps with flames and a trident stand nearby on a red-carpeted stage with a purple-red backdrop.
