A photograph of a ritual scene in a hall with brick-patterned walls and straw on the floor. A man with long dark hair in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, garlanded with yellow and red flowers. A young man in white-and-grey striped shirt and grey trousers bows low and touches the feet of the seated figure, who rests his feet on a red cushion on a gold footstool. A young man in an orange dhoti and shawl stands at left holding an object, and two women in white saris with gold borders stand at right, one with hands folded. A standing electric fan is at right. Straw and a patterned rug are on the floor. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long swept-back hair and saffron clothing on a throne, with the page noting Swamiji at this event.
