Outdoor stage under a white tent canopy with a green and gold-trimmed valance and red and blue backdrop drapes. On the right, a smiling man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe, with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, wears a multicoloured garland of marigolds, white flowers and rudraksha beads, and gestures with his hands while speaking. Beside him, a bespectacled man with a moustache wears a red shawl with green and gold border over a white shirt. At left, a man in white with a red tilak and a finger raised to his chin watches. The setting suggests an inauguration event on a temporary stage. a person candidate appearance: orange turban, long hair, garland and rudraksha cues, identity unconfirmed from appearance alone.

Indoor tent scene with orange and red draped fabric. A long-haired man with a white forehead mark, wearing a pale pink shawl and a large marigold garland, smiles and holds his palms together in greeting toward an older man in an orange shawl and pink kurta who bows with folded hands. The garland-wearing man sits before an ornate gold throne-style seat with a leopard-print cushion. Behind them, saffron-robed men with beaded malas stand, and a bearded man in glasses and a cap looks on. a person seated in front, shown with long swept hair, gold armbands and a pale shawl, in an in_person setting.

A photograph inside an orange-and-red draped tent. On the left, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears a brown and gold turban, an orange shawl over orange clothing, a brown waist cloth and gold bangles, and he reaches out to a bearded elder. The elder on the right wears a white turban, a bushy white beard and an orange robe, and leans forward to receive the shawl. Behind them a shaved-headed man in orange holds fabric, and another bearded man in an orange turban stands at the right holding a steel flask. Decorative gold cloth edges the left side. a person: the man on the left shows long swept-back hair, a turban, orange clothing and ornate gold adornments, consistent with the page, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm.

A photograph inside a temple hall with arched cream pillars and a blue-framed deity shrine behind. An elderly man with long white beard and glasses, wearing an orange and gold brocade shawl and a striped headband, presses his palms together while bowing toward a younger man. The younger man, smiling, wears a cream shawl with a brown-red cloth and a multicolour flower garland of white, pink, yellow and green, and holds his hands out in greeting. A green silk cloth is held nearby, and other people in saffron clothing stand in the background. a person cues on the younger man are not clearly established, so identity remains uncertain.

Photograph of an indoor setting with a large printed backdrop of a banyan tree and green foliage. A man in a red shawl over a brown wrap, with a white tilak on his forehead and a gold bracelet, reaches to adjust an orange shawl around the shoulders of a smiling man in an orange turban, orange kurta and tan vest.

A photograph of a ceremonial exchange under a decorated canopy with yellow and pink fabric, tassels and marigold garlands. An older man with glasses wears an orange robe with a gold border and a cream shawl, and clasps hands with a woman seated on a gold throne-style chair. She wears a maroon turban, a multi-strand garland of pink and white flowers with blue ribbon, rudraksha-style beads on her wrist and a maroon garment. Behind them, a man in a rudraksha mala and maroon cloth stands, and another man in white dhoti and shirt is partly visible. Marigold garlands decorate the throne.

Outdoor ceremony under a striped red, yellow and blue canopy with a lotus emblem. A long-haired, bare-chested man in orange dhoti and shawl, with a beard, reaches toward an older man in an orange turban and a gold-bordered saffron shawl who smiles. Behind them stand saffron-robed attendants, one holding a microphone, and white-clad onlookers. Garlands of white flowers and red blooms hang at right, with green trees behind. The older man in the turban and gold-trimmed shawl has the cues of the presentation, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a priest or devotee in a ceremonial setting.
