A photograph of a ceremonial gathering on a red-carpeted stage. In the centre, a figure seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears a saffron-orange turban, a saffron robe, and layered gold-bead necklaces over a bare shoulder, and is smiling while reaching out. Before them, a balding man in white kurta with a sash bends forward and reaches toward the seated figure's hand, appearing to pay respects. Behind them, a man with a grey beard in white kurta and an orange lanyard stands, and a person in a red-brown robe with gold malas stands at the back. A man with a camera and others in the background observe, with a microphone at the left edge. The seated figure's cues of turban, ornate gold necklaces and saffron attire make this a probable appearance of Swamiji, seated in person on the throne.
