A photograph of a ceremonial moment in an indoor hall with gold curtains. A man in orange robes and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne decorated with garlands of yellow, red and white flowers, placing his hands on the head of a man in white clothes who bows low before him, a flower garland draped over his shoulders. To the right, a woman in white with an orange-bordered sari bends forward, and a person in white kneels in the lower right. A brass vase and a tray of offerings sit nearby, and a standing fan is visible. The orange-robed figure has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and a seated throne, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable identification; the bowing devotee is a devotee receiving blessing.2009-08-16A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, decorated with garlands of green leaves and purple, white and yellow flowers.

To the right, a young woman in a white sari with a gold border and a dark bead necklace sits beside a microphone stand. Behind them hangs a red-and-silver backdrop.
