Outdoor ceremony in a courtyard with marigold garlands draped on a white wall and iron gate. A seated man in orange-red robes with a long swept-back hairstyle sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a tiger-skin cloth, holding his hands in his lap. Four standing men in orange-red sannyasi garments with rudraksha malas stand beside him; two hold tall silver tridents. On the left a man in a yellow kurta stands, and a man in pale pink robes with an orange head wrap speaks into a microphone on a stand. A small silver-finished umbrella canopy tops the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron-orange robes and has long swept-back hair, seated on a throne with a tiger-skin cloth.
