A photograph of a ceremony in a hall with a gold ornate throne at right. A man in white dhoti and shawl, with a long rudraksha mala and gold necklace, sits on red cushions on the throne, smiling, with a small vase of flowers beside him. Seated on the floor before him are devotees: a shaved-headed priest in white on the left, women in orange and yellow saris, a man in white dhoti, and a young girl in pink. Several hold up small brass plates and lamps with offerings, and a tray of kumkum and offerings sits in front. A silver tray and incense sticks lie in the foreground, and orange and green banners hang behind. The seated man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji on the throne, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold necklace cues.
