A photograph of a seated guru in rust-red robes, a large rudraksha mala and a white-and-pink floral garland, placing his right hand on the forehead of a kneeling young disciple with long dreadlocked hair, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, who holds his hands in anjali. The guru sits on an ornate gold throne-chair with a gold kalasha-topped staff beside him, and a woman in white sits at the right edge. Stage lights and a red-blue screen fill the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated guru has long swept-back hair, a beard, a tripundra mark, an ornate gold throne, rudraksha malas and a ceremonial garland, matching the page's initiation event.
