A photograph of a ceremony outdoors under a golden umbrella with hanging gold leaf ornaments. A man seated on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion wears an orange-red turban, a red-orange robe, rudraksha beads and a long gold necklace, with orange tilak and armbands. Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace, sits at the centre of the ritual. Beside him, a man in a red-brown robe with a gold necklace and glasses stands with folded hands. Men in orange and yellow clothing stand nearby, one in a pink shawl reaching toward a silver ritual vessel in the foreground, and a bowl sits on the ground.
