A photograph of an outdoor ceremony at a stepped stone ghat beside a pool. A seated figure on a silver-backed wooden throne with a tiger-striped cushion wears a red-orange dress, a floral garland of red and yellow flowers, and white tilak markings; his long dark hair is swept back, and he holds a silver staff and places his hand on the head of a boy in white dhoti with a gold border and a saffron cloth over his shoulder. Behind them, rows of people in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on steps, and tiered red-brick seating and buildings rise in the background. Fruit and offerings lie on a mat in front, and a metal plate sits at the lower left. a person is described by the seated figure's long swept hair, flower garland and red-orange ceremonial dress.

He wears a red and yellow flower garland and a gold chain, has a white tripundra on his forehead, and holds a silver trident in his right hand while resting an orange cloth on his lap. A large embossed silver panel stands beside him. Behind him, many people in white and orange sit on the steps and a ceremonial orange and red chair is visible. On the right, several women in red-and-gold saris sit on a striped mat. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears red-orange robes, a flower garland, and a gold necklace, with long swept-back hair and a trident, which are the cues for a probable identification in this context.2016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03January 03 20162016-01-03Outdoor ceremony at a temple-like stone platform with a trident on a pole behind. A man in a red-orange robe with a long yellow-and-red flower garland and a dark turban sits on an ornate wooden seat draped with a tiger-striped cloth, smiling while placing his hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in a blue-and-white checked shirt who presses his palms together. Nearby a priest in an orange-and-white dhoti with a white forehead mark and a ceremonial necklace stands with hands folded, and a camera operator in white clothing films.
