A photograph of a ceremonial initiation scene in a hall with red draped curtains and a gold-and-red throne. A bearded man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, bare-shouldered in a rust-orange wrap, and wearing thick gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, reaches out to press his palm against the forehead of a young boy in a white shirt, who stands with hands folded. Gold ceremonial staffs and a gilded altar piece are visible. Another person's head is in the lower right foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the bearded man with long hair, orange wrap and gold garlands, performing the forehead blessing on the boy.
