A photograph of a ceremony on a stage with a large ornate golden throne draped in a tiger-skin cushion and red fabric. A seated figure in a red-saffron robe, with long dark swept-back hair, a crown-like head ornament, and multiple layers of gold and flower garlands, sits on the throne smiling, with a golden trident and a white-flower-wrapped pillar beside him. Probable Swamiji is seated, with the appearance-based cues of a crown, saffron clothing, and ceremonial gold necklaces. On the left a man in white dhoti and shirt with a red shawl walks past. On the right a man with bare upper body, white dhoti with gold border and red shawl bends toward the throne with hands raised in reverence. Another person in red and white stands at the far right edge, and orange and gold cloth lies at the base of the throne.
