A photograph of a stage event with a long-haired man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, dressed in a gold shawl over light blue trousers. A young girl in a magenta and gold traditional dress with a long side braid stands before him, placing a white and purple flower garland around his neck. The throne is framed with yellow and maroon marigold garlands and white jasmine, and a white flower bed lies at its base. Behind them hang multicoloured balloons on a checked backdrop, with a small decorated figure on the table at left. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, gold shawl and garlanded seat; the girl is a child performing a garland offering.
