A photograph of a stage event in front of a painted blue and gold backdrop. A long-haired man in a red dhoti and red shawl, adorned with a gold necklace, sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow, orange and white flower garlands, reaching forward to receive a small white-wrapped object from a young girl in white salwar with a gold shawl. A woman in a gold-bordered cream sari with flowers in her hair and a man in white kurta stand nearby, with an orange-robed attendant behind. A gold trident stands beside the throne and a brass oil lamp sits at the left. A woman holds a small child at the right edge. Several people are visible, and the scene reads as a presentation during a celebration. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, red-saffron ceremonial clothing and a gold necklace.
