Photograph of a stage ceremony with ornate golden lion-shaped seats at the edges and a decorated backdrop of marigold garlands and pink-and-gold patterned panels. A man in a white shirt on the left holds up a phone to film. In the centre, a man in a long saffron-orange shawl leans forward and clasps hands with a younger man standing on the right. That younger man has long dark matted hair swept back, a crown-like adornment with flowers, a bare chest, a rudraksha-style beaded mala with a gold-coloured necklace, and a red-and-gold dhoti with a gold border. A seated person in white with dark hair is partly visible at the bottom left. Several people appear on stage, all counted in the people field. Swamiji (probable): the younger man on the right has long swept-back hair, a crown, ceremonial gold necklaces and a bare chest with rudraksha beads, matching the page's claim of his presence.

Her hand cups his head as he bows forward. Behind them, blurred seated audience members in orange, white and striped clothing watch in an indoor hall with a wooden pillar.

A tiger-striped cloth covers the throne base, and a red cushion sits behind him. Before him, a bare-chested, shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a red border bows low and reaches toward him in ritual homage.
