A photograph of a decorated stage set with a swing suspended by chains from an ornate canopy festooned with red, pink, yellow and green flower garlands. A seated man with a golden crown, gold necklaces, bangles and a white flower garland sits cross-legged on a striped animal-skin seat on the swing, smiling with palms raised. Beside him a man in orange-saffron robes and rudraksha beads gestures with one arm raised. Behind them a large golden wooden door and painted pillars in red and teal frame the set, with brass oil lamps and a silver vessel nearby. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in the crown and gold jewellery, and a man in orange robes stands at the side.
