A photograph of a stage event with a seated figure on an ornate silver-and-red throne, raising one hand and holding a slender white ceremonial rod or stick. The seated figure wears a saffron-red robe with a red shawl draped over the shoulders, and has long swept-back dark hair and a beard. A tall silver staff stands beside the throne. Around the stage, a large seated audience in front watches, including women in saffron and red garments and men in white dhotis and orange shawls. A few people stand at the left edge near a camera tripod, and a red and yellow backdrop fills the background. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron-red robes and the throne setting.
