A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver throne on a stage with a red-lit backdrop of carved stone-effect pillars and flame-like projections. He wears an orange-red robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, a gold crown-like headpiece and gold necklaces, and holds a ceremonial staff in one hand while raising the other in a blessing gesture. Overhead hangs a decorative canopy with red and green patterns, and a leopard-print cloth lies on the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a gold crown and ceremonial gold necklaces, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Stage lights and reflections fill the scene.
