Photograph of a ceremonial gathering indoors with a red curtain and a golden throne-like seat in the background. A bare-chested man with swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-brown dhoti with gold borders, layered gold and rudraksha necklaces, and gold bangles, extends his hand toward a small shaven-headed child in orange robes with a rudraksha mala who offers an orange cloth. Another shaven-headed man in rust-brown robes with a white tilak stands behind them, and a young man in orange with a rudraksha mala stands at left. Several men in white and shirts watch in the crowd. Swamiji (probable): the bare-chested figure in the foreground wears long swept-back hair, layered ornate gold necklaces and a rudraksha-bead arm band, matching the page's claim of his presence.
