A photograph of a central figure seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, framed by long garlands of marigolds, yellow and white flowers and purple blooms. The seated person wears an orange robe, a white flower garland over the shoulders, a gold-toned beaded necklace and red flower garlands draped across the lap. A younger assistant in orange robes and beaded necklaces sits at the left edge, and a woman in an orange headscarf sits at the right edge. Small string lights glow in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robes and ceremonial gold beads, cues consistent with the page's claim of his presence at this event.
