A photograph of a man in an orange saffron garment with a bare chest and long dark hair, smiling as he pulls back a large orange silk cloth on a stage. He wears a thick garland of yellow, purple, red and white flowers and a gold bangle. Behind him is a floral arch of orange marigolds, red and white blooms, and a yellow sun-like emblem, with a gilded throne and red cushions to the right. The figure has long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial floral dress consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) presence; he is handling the silk as part of a ceremonial unveiling.
