A photograph of a stage event with a large flower-decorated backdrop of yellow marigolds and purple and red garlands. A man in white ritual clothes with long dark hair, a red tilak and a gold multi-strand necklace sits on a golden throne with a golden armrest, smiling. Beside him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a moustache, a black mala and a red tilak, stands at a microphone stand holding a printed certificate that bears a small portrait. Both appear pleased. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and white and gold robes seated on a throne. The standing man is a devotee presenting the certificate. Gold filigree and a white canopy frame the scene.
