A photograph on a stage with a golden ornate throne and red cushioned seat. An elderly man with white hair and glasses, wearing white dhoti and shirt with a light saffron-orange shawl, stands bowing with palms pressed together in namaste toward a younger man seated on the throne. The seated man wears a maroon-and-orange patterned turban, a cream-and-gold silk shawl with tasselled ends over a deep red-maroon robe, and a gold bracelet, and returns the gesture with his hands joined. A golden trident stands behind them and a stylised purple-and-silver carved deity backdrop with multiple arms rises behind the throne, with a microphone at right and green foliage at the lower corners. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a red turban, cream-and-gold shawl and red robe with a gold ornament, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
