A photograph of a crowded hall during a ceremony. Seated at the centre on a golden Nandi-shaped seat is a bearded man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his body and a patterned white and black lower garment, with his hands folded in his lap. He appears to be the Swamiji (probable), identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and seated honoured position. Beside him stands a tall golden trident. Around him, children and young adults in orange and saffron garments stand close, a woman in a green and gold sari stands behind, and an older woman in a green and red sari stands at right. Two video cameras on tripods are visible in the background against white drapery, and a blurred crowd fills the foreground.
