A photo of a ceremonial exchange on a stage. A seated figure in an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace sits on a brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, gesturing toward a woman in a white sari with a red-and-brown shawl who smiles and joins her palms. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with a red-brown mala and a gold necklace stands near the throne, and another woman in white stands at the back. A pedestal oil lamp and a large red-and-white pedestal fan are visible, with an ornate temple-style backdrop behind. The seated figure is labelled a person by the page; the cues are the swept-back turban, saffron-orange robes and gold necklace, so the candidate is identified only by appearance and set as unsure.

Several people in white and red attire stand in the background against a red draped backdrop, with a small brass lamp and altar objects visible.

The figure leans forward and hands an orange-red shawl printed with script to a smiling woman in white who kneels in front of the throne, with a rudraksha-style mala around her neck. Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border and gold necklace stands beside a golden lion figure, and several women in white with red shawls and beaded malas stand in the background. A woman in white with a green lanyard watches at right, and a small electric fan is visible. The figure seated on the throne has distinctive visible cues including a turban, saffron clothing and ornate gold adornments, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable) in the role of the seated guru receiving the devotee.2015-09-11September 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20152015-09-11 +1 copiesA seated man in a red-orange turban and orange-saffron robes sits on an ornate gold-and-leather throne, smiling and holding a folded white cloth.
