A photograph of a standing man in saffron-orange silk robes with a gold-bordered dhoti and a long gold-and-bead garland, with long dark hair and a red bindi, holding a small blue patterned packet in one hand and a tray. Facing him, a bald priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala offers a silver tray of flowers. Behind them, a gold ornate throne is decorated with yellow, purple and red garlands and a gold parasol canopy, with a gold footstool in front. Swamiji (probable) is the standing figure in saffron robes and long hair, receiving the offering from the priest in orange.

Photograph of a ceremonial stage with a golden umbrella overhead and a golden throne backed by garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers. A long-haired man in orange silk robes and a gold necklace of beads stands on a golden platform holding two small plates, with a red bindi on his forehead. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ornate gold necklace and bangles. Beside him a shaved-headed priest in orange cloth, with a rudraksha mala, bends forward and offers a tray of items. White balusters and a blue canopy frame the stage.2011-12-20December 20 20112011-12-20December 20 20112011-12-20December 20 20112011-12-20A photograph of a golden throne decorated with multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and white, under a golden canopy. A standing figure with long swept-back hair, a red bindi, a white flower garland and orange saffron robes stands on the throne, smiling and holding a small tray. Before him a shaven-headed priest in orange robes leans forward, offering the tray with both hands. Wood-panelled walls, a framed picture and a balcony railing frame the stage.2011-12-20A photograph of a standing man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-edged dhoti-style wrap and a long gold-bead necklace, arms raised holding an open printed booklet overhead. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and gold bangles, and stands on a cushioned pedestal before an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow, red and purple flower garlands and a golden canopy. A bald attendant in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at left holding a blue gift box. Behind them are white balustrades and a terracotta-tiled roof. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and ceremonial throne match the page's claim of his presence, so the figure is the Paramashivam candidate in person.2011-12-20December 20 20112011-12-20A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gold throne-palanquin decorated with bands of yellow, red, purple and green flower garlands, under a large gold umbrella. He wears an orange saffron robe, a silver crown, a long gold ceremonial necklace and bangles, and holds a silver staff in one hand while smiling. Behind him are a gold scroll-shaped ornament and a balustrade. To the left stands a smiling man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, his hands folded in greeting. The man on the throne has long swept-back hair, a crown, saffron clothing and ornate adornments consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the appearance is a probable match, though the page's claim cannot be confirmed by appearance alone.2011-12-20April 27 20122012-04-27July 17 20082008-07-17December 20 20112011-12-20A photograph of a standing man in an orange saffron robe and shawl on a richly gilded throne-platform, decorated with yellow, red and purple marigold garlands and a golden umbrella overhead. He wears a gold-bead necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala, and holds an open printed booklet. Long swept-back hair and a crown-like ornament on the throne suggest a presentation of a revered teacher, but the appearance cues are limited, so identity is unsure. Behind him are white balusters, a tiled roof, bamboo screens and a patterned rangoli floor.2011-12-20
