Outdoor ceremony under a white canopy with trees behind. A figure with long dark swept-back hair, wearing orange-saffron robes and a flower garland, sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and floral decorations. A tall golden staff stands beside the throne. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis, plus a man in an orange shawl and white kurta, stand around and attend him, with hands near the staff. A person in orange clothing stands at the left edge. The appearance cues of the seated figure (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland on an ornate throne) match the page's reference to Swamiji, so the figure is noted as a probable candidate, seated in darshan with devotees attending.
