Night photo of an outdoor ceremonial stage under a pink-edged white canopy hung with green leaves and a concentric ring design in yellow, red, orange and green. A long-haired man in orange-saffron robes with a gold necklace sits centrally on a white throne-like chair against a purple backdrop, with hands held together in front of him; he appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklace). Around him, men in white clothes and a woman in a red sari sit or stand at the stage edge, including a man with a yellow ribbon badge. Foreground heads are partially visible at the bottom edge. Bamboo poles and dry grass frame the scene.

A figure in an orange robe with a gold necklace and long dark hair sits on a white throne-like chair against a purple backdrop, with bamboo poles and palm-frond decorations at the sides. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand close to the seated figure, some with folded hands, while people in white and a checked shirt are at the right edge.
