A photograph of a ceremonial welcome on a red-carpeted stage. A seated figure with long, dark, swept-back hair wears orange robes over a red sleeveless top and sits on a red-cushioned golden throne with gilded carved legs. He extends his hands forward while an elderly man in a white shirt and white dhoti clasps his palms, and a second elderly man in white clothing and a third man in orange robes with glasses and a beard stand nearby. Yellow and red marigold garlands and red flowers decorate the throne and a gold draped backdrop; a water bottle sits on a side table. Another man in white with an orange-bordered shawl stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, orange robes and the ornate golden throne with garlands.
