Night-time outdoor ritual at Adi Kailasa, Bengaluru. A man in orange robes sits on a red cushioned seat wearing a long brown rudraksha mala, holding a shallow plate, while a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl ties or adjusts a cord around an orange cloth held by another robed attendant. A brass vessel with a green leaf sits on a small wooden table at left. Several devotees in white and orange shawls, some holding rudraksha malas, stand behind. The scene resembles a flag-hoisting or ceremonial tying of a sacred cloth.

A photograph taken under a thatched-roof pavilion with a bamboo ceiling and green steel posts. In the foreground a bearded man with long dark swept-back hair and a white garment leans in and holds the chin of a younger man in an orange-saffron robe who has his eyes closed and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind them an orange flag hangs from a white pole, and a thatched hut and trees stand outside. Several people in white clothes and a woman in a sari with a lanyard watch from the background, with one man smiling. A man's head is partly visible at the right edge.

A seated man in an orange sleeveless robe with long, swept-back dark curly hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, extending his right arm to touch the forehead of a smiling man in white kurta who kneels before him with palms raised. Behind them, a woman in an orange top smiles, and a few people are visible through a window. Probable Swamiji: the long hair, orange robe and ornate throne-style seat fit the candidate's presentation, though the face is not used for identification.
