A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron shawl and a white flower garland at his neck, with a long red rose garland draped down his chest. He smiles toward the left while seated on an ornate gold-coloured throne or seat in the lower right. Behind him, dim temple surroundings show red banners and a dark decorated backdrop. Several women in white saris and a man in glasses with a tilak sit or stand among a seated crowd in the background, with a man in an orange robe at the lower left edge. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo through his long hair, saffron shawl and ornate throne, seated in a place of honour during the event.
