Photograph of a stage event with an ornate white and gold backdrop framed by garlands of orange, yellow and white flowers and red draped curtains. A seated figure with long dark hair and a white garment sits on a red throne-like chair at the centre, with devotees gathered before him. Several men in white dhotis and an orange-bordered shawl stand to the left, while women in white saris and a girl in orange stand near the throne. A man in white kneels on a white cloth on the blue-carpeted stage, and a white decorative horse stands at the left edge. Scattered flower petals cover the floor. The figure seated on the throne has long swept-back hair and a white robe with orange trim, and the presentation is consistent with Swamiji (probable), so this is an appearance-based label only.2006-12-17A photograph of a ceremonial stage backdrop framed by white, orange and red flower garlands, with a golden ornate arch above a gilded lattice panel. A man seated on a red cushioned throne wears a white turban, a white shawl and a red and white flower garland, with a gold-bordered cloth around his waist. Around him, several people in white clothes with orange shawls stand and crouch, one older man in white reaching toward him, and women in white and orange saris bend in devotion. A white cloth-covered platform in front is strewn with flower petals and marigolds. The scene appears to be a devotional honouring ceremony. The seated figure shows crown-like white turban and garland cues, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.2006-12-17A photograph of a stage ceremony at a person Spurana programme.

A seated figure in a white dhoti and shawl with a white head covering and floral garlands sits on a red throne, appearing to be the a person candidate in a seated pose on the dais. Around him, a kneeling attendant in white with an orange sash leans in, several women in orange-bordered saris stand at the right, and a girl in white with an orange shawl sits near the front. Floral petals cover the raised platform and a fan and cooler stand at the left edge.2006-12-17A decorated stage hall with a large ornate backdrop of pink and gold diamond-patterned panels framed by a floral arch of red, white and orange flowers and draped cream and orange curtains.

A seated figure in white and gold robes sits on a red throne before a pink and gold patterned backdrop framed by an arch of orange and white flower garlands.

Flower petals are scattered on the blue floor, and white elephant figures flank the stage. A woman in a white sari with a blue border stands at the right edge. The throne figure is not clearly identifiable from appearance alone, so the identity is left unsure.2006-12-17A photograph of a floral-decorated stage in a hall, with a gilded arch of white, yellow, orange and red flowers over an ornate white-and-gold panelled backdrop. A long-haired man in white robes and a saffron/orange shawl stands on an orange-cushioned seat as several devotees in white shirts, white dhotis and sarees gather around him, one man with folded hands. A woman in a white saree with a red bindi stands at right, and a seated woman in a white saree with an orange shawl attends at the foot of the seat, with a white cloth spread on the floor. Strong resemblance to a person in appearance, identified by appearance only (probable). The long hair, white robes and saffron shawl are the cues.2006-12-17December 17 20062006-12-17December 17 20062006-12-17December 17 20062006-12-17A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with ornate gold-and-pink panelled backdrop and floral garlands of red, orange and white flowers.
