A photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a hall with red curtains and framed pictures on the walls. A bearded man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-brown wrap with ornate jewellery, sits on a raised seat and extends an orange shawl toward a man bending forward to receive it. Several men in orange shawls and white or pale shirts stand behind, watching. On the left a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with a yellow border and white sacred markings on his body stands beside a rudraksha bracelet. A woman in a maroon sari with a rudraksha mala stands at the right near a silver tray. Swamiji (probable): the seated bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, rust-brown wrap, ornate gold necklace and beard, receiving the bow of a devotee.
