An outdoor ceremony on a raised platform with a red-and-gold canopy above. Centre, a bearded man with long dark hair sits on an ornate silver throne, smiling with eyes closed. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style garment with gold trim, layered rudraksha mala necklaces, and holds a silver trident with his raised right hand; a golden lion figure is at the throne's side. The Swamiji (probable) cues are long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a saffron-orange garment on a ceremonial throne, so the candidate is in_person. Behind him, a man in white with a shawl and a bearded man in white with a rudraksha mala stand with hands folded in namaste. A seated attendant in orange sits at right, and a pink umbrella and flowers lie in the foreground on a red carpet.
