A seated man in a rust-orange turban, saffron-orange robe and a braided rope necklace smiles while placing a red-and-black patterned shawl over the shaved head of a young man in a white shirt who bows before him. Behind them a woman with a tilak and dark beads watches, and a seated audience in white and pastel clothing fills a tented hall. The seated figure sits in a brown leather armchair with a colourful drum-like object in the foreground. A person in orange and white appears at the top-left, partly visible near a yellow-draped table. Swamiji (probable) cues: orange turban, saffron robe and rope necklace, presiding over a shawl-giving honour.
