A photograph of a ceremony on a stage. A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, bare-chested with an orange cloth, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, and works a golden-yellow paste with both hands over a large silver-rimmed bowl on a gold stand. A kneeling attendant in orange with white body markings and a shaved head sits to the left holding a mala. A woman in an orange sari with a dark bun kneels on the right holding out a cup of the paste, and a basket with a mala lies beside her. The setting is a white backdrop with a fan at left and a patterned rug under them. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, bare-chested ceremonial dress, rudraksha mala and gold necklace on a throne.
