A photograph of a ceremony on an illuminated stage at night. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and ornate silver necklaces, wearing a saffron-brown cloth and a pink-and-white flower garland, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, placing his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt who holds a small blue cup. Two attendants in saffron-orange clothes with garlands stand behind them, one at left with a large gold staff. Red and white stage lights and a red backdrop are visible. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by distinctive long hair, saffron-brown robes, rudraksha mala and ornate necklaces.
