A seated man in rust-brown robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a white-and-green garland, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold chain. He has long dark hair, a full beard and white tripundra markings on his forehead, and he rests his right hand on the head of a young boy kneeling before him. The boy wears orange robes, several rudraksha beads, bangles and a white forehead mark, and keeps his eyes closed. Behind him an attendant in orange holds a small bowl. Stage lights glow in blue and red in the background. The seated man shows strong cues of the Swamiji (probable) identity: long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, a gold chain and a throne, presiding over an initiation.
