A photograph at night of a seated man on an ornate red and gold throne, wearing a red turban with a gold ornament, red silk garments, gold necklaces with a pendant, and gold armbands and bangles. He extends his right hand toward the forehead of a young boy in red clothes with folded hands, who wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a white tilak on his forehead. He holds a silver plate in his left hand. Behind them, several young people in orange and white clothes with white forehead markings stand near a white fan and a plant. This appears to be a blessing or initiation moment. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: red turban, ornate gold jewellery and distinctive red silk attire on a throne.
