Photograph of a ceremony on a stage. A bearded man with long dreadlocks, bare-chested except for a gold necklace, a rudraksha mala and a red-brown wrap, sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat and smiles while applying a tilak mark to a young attendant's forehead with his fingers. The attendant wears a white vibhuti line and red bindi, long dark hair, and a red-brown garment with beaded necklaces. To the right, a smiling man in a yellow kurta with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them stand a golden deity murti, a white fan and red floral garlands. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, bare chest, gold necklace and rudraksha mala on the seated man, presented as the person being honoured on the seat.
