A photograph of a ceremonial stage event in front of an ornate silver throne. Seated on a leopard-print cushion on the throne is a bearded man with long dark hair wearing a rust-orange turban with a small gold emblem, an orange-brown robe, and multiple rudraksha malas; he smiles and extends his hands toward a bespectacled older man with a white beard, wearing a grey vest over a white shirt, who leans in and gestures with a pointed finger. On the left, two young men in orange and saffron shawls stand near the stage, one holding a small white object. Behind them stands a painted deity figure with a crown and gold ornaments, and a silver lion-shaped armrest is visible on the throne. The seated figure's appearance matches several cues associated with Swamiji (probable), including a turban, orange robes and rudraksha malas, seated on a throne.
