Photograph of a ceremonial scene before a backdrop of yellow and red marigold flowers. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a rust-brown robe, a gold multi-strand necklace and a bare chest sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne with a carved silver lion armrest, holding an orange fruit in each hand and smiling. A man in an orange robe with rudraksha beads stands beside the throne offering fruit. A woman in a pink sari with gold embroidery stands at left, and a kneeling man in a white dhoti with gold border folds his hands in namaskar. Another person in a purple sari sits at lower right. A man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and rudraksha mala stands at far left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, gold ceremonial necklaces and a rust-brown robe.
