A photograph of a ceremony on a stage with a dark curtain backdrop. In the foreground, a long-haired figure in orange robes sits on a white-covered seat with white and red flower garlands and fruit on the table, placing a hand on the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothing and a rudraksha mala. Standing nearby are a bald man in white with an orange shawl, a young man in white with an orange shawl, a woman in a yellow sari, and other onlookers. On a golden throne at the upper left sits another figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala, one hand raised. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha mala on the seated figure in the foreground. The scene appears to be a blessing or temple-style ritual. A kalasha-like object and a fan are visible.
