A stage ceremony with a seated bearded man on an ornate gold throne with red cushion, wearing an orange shawl and dark garment, holding a golden staff, with a small golden lion figure at his feet. Seated devotees in the foreground, many with raised hands and small offerings, face him; some wear saffron, white and blue saris and white dhotis. A golden umbrella canopy and a deity murti adorned with garlands stand to the right, with red velvet drapes behind. The scene shows a pada puja or darshan with devotees offering to the throne. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and ceremonial gold regalia.
