Photograph of an evening stage event under an orange and blue canopy. A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion wears an orange turban, orange robes and a red-and-yellow flower garland, and raises one hand in greeting; he appears to be the Swamiji (probable), based on the orange turban, saffron robes and garland. A woman in a white sari with a beaded necklace sits to the right holding a stick, and a man in white clothes stands at left near flaming oil lamps held on a silver lamp stand. A small table with red and white cloth sits beside the throne.
