A photo of a ceremonial moment at a gilded throne. A man in orange saffron robes with long swept-back hair sits on a red cushioned golden throne, leaning forward with a dark rudraksha-style mala in his hands while a young girl in a white dress and maroon top bends toward him holding a bead string. A man in white robes and a rudraksha mala stands beside them, and a woman in a white sari with a dark necklace stands behind the throne. Further left, a woman in a teal and gold sari and a woman in a red salwar kameez stand with hands joined, and a bald man in white dhoti with gold necklaces stands behind. On the carved golden table sit two red apples, flowers and a decorated tray; a forest backdrop hangs behind. The seated man with long hair in orange robes is the probable Swamiji by appearance, though identity is uncertain.
