A photograph of a stage event in a hall with red curtains and blue and pink draping. A large backdrop screen shows a smiling figure in an orange garment within a circle, above a sunset mountain scene. Beneath it, a figure in orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne decorated with white flowers and a small canopy, wearing a garland. Around the stage, saffron-robed sannyasis and white-clad devotees sit on the floor, some holding bundled offerings and long poles with orange tassels. Colourful patterned banners hang at the sides. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure on the throne wears orange robes with a garland, and the backdrop portrait shows long swept-back hair and an orange garment, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
