A photograph of a formal welcome on a red-carpeted stage. A figure seated on an ornate gold-carved throne with red cushions wears a rust-orange turban, orange robe, a long rudraksha-style necklace and a pink-and-white flower garland; a golden trident stands beside the throne. A man in a brown kurta kneels before him with hands joined, wearing a cream cap and an orange shawl, while a standing man in a white shirt and orange shawl bows nearby. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, based on the turban, long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne and orange ceremonial garments; the page identifies this as a Kumbh Mela VIP welcome. Behind them a woman in a sari and a shaved-head man in orange stand near a red backdrop, with a microphone on a stand.
