A photograph of a ceremony in a red-lit hall. A long-haired man in a leopard-print sleeveless top, with long dreadlock-like hair, stands at right holding a twisted silver-and-gold staff upright and reaching toward a man at left. The man at left wears a checked light shirt, a long red rudraksha mala and a small pendant, and raises his palms in receiving gesture. Another person in white stands behind, with a blurred figure at far left. A distinctive appearance-based candidate with long swept hair, leopard-print clothing and a ceremonial staff fits the page's a person reference, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji in this sentence with the role of ritual officiant. The background shows red drapes and a leopard-skin-draped stand.
