A photograph inside an orange-draped tent with green floor matting. On the left, a man in an orange robe and orange turban sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne holding a trident, wearing a red-and-pink flower garland, pressing his palms together. On the right, a man in an orange dhoti and orange garment with a gold-and-pearl necklace and a white forehead marking raises his right hand toward a tall decorated pole with a colourful tassel. Behind them, saffron-robed men and a figure in white stand near tables, and a monitor and offering tray with flowers sit in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the throne wears an orange turban, a trident, a flower garland and ornate gold necklaces, cues consistent with the page; the standing man is a devotee in orange ritual clothing.
