A photograph of a ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall. A seated man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, and a rust-red robe is seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a lion-footed base, wearing a heavy gold necklace, red beaded bracelets and a gold waist ornament. He raises a bunch of green leaves overhead with one hand. Beside him, a younger attendant in an orange turban and orange wrap, with white painted markings on his arms and chest and red beaded necklaces, holds a white woven vessel and pours or dips from it. Behind them stands a carved stone shrine with a deity murti and a gold-draped altar, and a microphone stand is in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is described by the throne, long hair, rust-red robe and gold necklace; identity is appearance-based only.
