A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a Guru Purnima celebration. A figure in orange clothing and an orange turban sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and lion-shaped armrests, draped with white and red flower garlands. Behind the throne is a large decorated structure of white and purple scalloped motifs with flower patterns, and a tall painted pillar at right. In front, five seated devotees in orange robes sit with hands folded; two women in orange sit at right. Offerings on brass trays include fruits such as pomegranates, mangoes, grapes and pineapple, and a brass oil lamp stands in the foreground. The figure on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate (orange turban, orange robes, garlands, throne), so the swamiji field is set to in_person.
