Outdoor evening ceremony on a raised white cloth platform. A man in a red dhoti and red shawl, with long swept-back dark hair, gold ornate necklace and bangles, sits on a red upholstered throne with gold legs, a probable Swamiji depiction by appearance and role of the seated honoured figure. A young man in a white shirt and grey trousers kneels before him with hands folded, bowing his head near the seated man's feet while a garland-like white cord hangs from the throne. Behind them a decorated golden palanquin with coloured tassels stands under palm trees, and a crowd of devotees in white and yellow garments watches from the background. A brass oil lamp and a small pink-flowered offering sit in the foreground, with a leopard-print mat on the floor.
