A photograph inside an ornately decorated tent with a gold-carved throne-like seat at left. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a vibhuti mark on his forehead sits in saffron-orange clothing with a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders. A man in a cream kurta and a cap with embroidered trim leans in to offer a fruit, and a monastic in saffron stands at right with a bald head and spectacles. Several women and monastics in saffron and maroon stand behind, with colourful tassel decorations and hanging lanterns overhead. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by his long hair, saffron clothing, and rudraksha mala, receiving an offering.2016-04-25A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-red robe and a heavy rudraksha mala with gold-toned beads, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a maroon cushion.

Around him, a woman in an orange sari and several men stand and sit: one bare-chested man in white dhoti with a dark rudraksha-style mala and gold pendant, a man in a white kurta, a man in a white cap and striped shirt, and a shaved-headed priest in orange with a rudraksha mala.

One man wears a yellow kurta with a red-and-maroon shawl and a red thread bracelet; the other wears an orange shawl and white kurta and holds a phone. Behind the seated figure is a gilded throne with a leopard-print seat cover and a small golden canopy with red and yellow tassels.
