A photograph of a ceremony on a multicoloured striped mat platform in front of stone steps. A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears a rust-orange turban, a red-orange cloth and a garland of white and pink flowers, with a gold ornamental piece at the throne's top; a golden staff rests beside him. Around him, women in orange and white sarees sit on the mat, some holding brass plates with flowers and fruit, others kneeling and attending. A large black stone vessel stands at left. Their presence suggests a satsang or puja setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, flower garland and ornate gold necklace on a throne, which are cues for the page's Swamiji claim.
