A photograph of a ceremonial gathering under a white tent at a temple-like event. A central figure with long dark swept-back hair, a garland of white flowers, orange and red clothing and a rudraksha-style mala sits before an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, holding a staff topped with a decorative finial. Devotees in white and orange clothing press close, one woman in a turquoise sari holds a camera, and a small silver trident-like ritual object and brass bowls sit at the lower left. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial clothing, garlands and mala, seated on a gold throne.
