A photo of a ceremonial moment on an ornate silver-and-gold stage. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a long beaded necklace of gold chains and a rudraksha-style mala, and a microphone in front of him, is receiving something from a young man in orange dhoti and shawl with a gold-threaded border. The young man, with a orange-thread sacred cord, is bowing and offering something cupped in his hands while the seated figure extends his hand. Behind them are a silver ornate throne back with a sun motif, a stand of lamps, a red-and-orange marigold garland, a metal bowl on the orange cloth, a golden lion-shaped armrest, and a painted deity murti with a red crown. Pink flowers appear at the right edge. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe, and rudraksha-style mala with gold necklaces.
