A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with floral arrangements in red, yellow and white, with a large ornate golden throne in the centre. A long-haired man in orange robes, wearing a garland of red and white flowers, sits on the throne and raises a small object in his right hand, while a bearded attendant in orange clothing stands at right, holding a tray with small items toward him. Two golden lion-like figures flank the throne base, and a carved golden panel with a deity figure rises behind the throne. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron-orange robes and an ornate garland, consistent with a probable Swamiji presence in the central role; the standing attendant is a devotee in orange. Two physical people are visible.
