A photograph of a seated figure on an orange velvet throne with an orange velvet cushion and a red backrest, set against a dark red curtain. The seated person wears an orange sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style garments, with a rudraksha mala around the neck, and smiles while receiving honour. Before the throne a man in white shirt and white dhoti lies prostrate on the floor in full pranam. Standing to the left are several men in white clothes with red or yellow shawls, and a man in an orange robe with a red border stands near the throne. Flower offerings and garlands lie on white pedestals beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair, an orange garment and a rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
