Photograph of a ceremonial reception on a stage. A seated man on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion wears a rust-red turban, rust-red robe and multiple rudraksha malas, and holds out his hand to receive a book offered by a woman in a rust-red sari with a leopard-print shawl and rudraksha mala. A man in a white shirt and camouflage trousers bends low to touch the seated man's feet. Behind them a woman in a white sari with gold border holds a red-covered book, and an older bearded man in a white shirt and orange vest holds a red book. A tall white side table and a pink lotus-shaped column appear in the background.

A man in a rust-coloured dhoti and shawl, wearing a leopard-print headwrap, long dark hair, and multiple rudraksha malas, sits on a silver-backed throne with red cushions, one hand resting on the arm of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears white dhoti with gold borders and is bare-chested with white markings, bowing forward. Two attendants in orange garments with white body markings stand beside them, and a young boy in white dhoti is at the left edge. Behind the throne, a deity murti adorned with garlands is visible at the right. The seated man has a probable Swamiji appearance based on the leopard headwrap, long hair, rudraksha malas and rust clothing, with the page indicating his presence at this event.2017-12-10
