Outdoor ceremony on a raised pink-draped platform before a partly built concrete building and red railings. A man in an ornate gold-and-red crown and orange-red dhoti stands at left, holding a long golden staff whose other end is held by a long-haired man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala seated on a leopard-print armchair. A bearded man in orange robes sits at right. A small floral arrangement and a red-and-gold patterned mat lie on the platform. Several children and a woman in white stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired seated man wears the saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala cues, so the appearance is consistent with the page reference.
