A photograph of a ceremonial stage with a golden throne at left decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands. A long-haired man in white clothing with a gold-bordered shawl, gold beaded necklaces and a bare upper body sits on the throne and gestures with one raised hand toward a standing man in a white striped kurta and white trousers. The standing man, bending forward, offers a glass trophy or award holding a small framed photo. A yellow marigold backdrop with a purple and white beaded border frames the stage, with a microphone stand and a gold-carved pedestal in front. Swamiji (probable): the seated long-haired man wears saffron-gold ceremonial dress, gold beaded malas and a long swept-back hairstyle on a throne.
