Photograph of a ceremonial indoor scene in warm lamplight. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved gilded backrest wears a black turban, a red-and-saffron robe, a long pink-and-white flower garland, a gold pendant necklace and a rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on the forehead; he is probable Swamiji by visible cues of ceremonial gold ornaments, turban and garland, and he is seated centrally. A standing man behind the throne wears a dark brown robe and a rudraksha mala. In the foreground a bald man in an orange-and-yellow cloth with a saffron head wrap sits before a small fire, and a man in white dhoti and white shirt sits at right beside a table holding a water bottle; a wall fan and a red-lit doorway complete the room.
