A photograph of a ceremonial scene before an ornate heart-shaped throne decorated with gold, jewels, and white and red-yellow flower garlands. A seated figure in maroon-brown robes, a black turban, red and white flower garlands, and gold armlets sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne flanked by golden lion statues. A man in a white dhoti with gold borders bows and extends his hands toward him. Behind them, two men in orange robes with rudraksha malas stand, and a brass lamp stands on the left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure on the throne, identified by the turban, garlands and ceremonial dress; the bowing man is a devotee.
