A photograph of a seated figure on a red upholstered throne receiving a garland. The seated person wears a rust-red turban, a green leaf garland, gold bangles, and a red and gold garment, with a leopard-print cloth on the lap. A man in white shirt and trousers stands leaning in to drape a long garland of yellow and red flowers over the seated person's head, while an older man in white kneels beside them. A woman in orange and red sari and other people in saffron and red robes stand in the background near a gold-framed backdrop and red velvet curtain. Fruit and apples lie on a tray in front, and a gold ornament sits on the seated person's lap. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the turban, long hair, bangles and ornate dress worn by the seated figure receiving the garland.
