A photograph of a ceremonial stage scene. A figure with long swept-back hair, a red-and-orange shawl, a red and green flower garland and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne backed by a large floral arrangement of red, purple, white and orange blossoms. A man in white with an orange shawl bends forward to touch the seated figure's feet, while a white-robed attendant in a white turban stands at the left holding a small bag and gesturing. Several standing men and women in white with orange or red shawls and white turbans look on at the right. Golden carved decorations and a white tent backdrop surround the dais. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial garland and saffron-red clothing, receiving honour as a devotee bows.
