Indoor ceremonial photo at an event stage. A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears orange robes, long swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace, and holds papers. A man in white kurta with an orange shawl stands before him, handing over a sheet. Other devotees in white and orange shawls sit on the stage and in the foreground. Behind them hang a striped orange-and-gold banner, a garland of multicoloured flowers, a red-and-white backdrop and a lion-shaped carved armrest. Seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the long swept-back hair, orange robes and gold necklace on the throne.
