A photograph of a ritual at night under warm stage lighting. A seated figure in a red-orange turban, red-orange garment, layered rudraksha malas and ornate gold necklaces extends his right arm toward a shirtless devotee who stands with raised hands. A man in a white dhoti with a gold border stands at left and touches the devotee's head. A large ornate gold throne or peetha with carved metalwork sits behind the seated figure, with stage scaffolding and lights in the background. The seated figure has a probable Swamiji appearance based on the turban, saffron-red clothing and rudraksha malas, shown in a blessing role.
