A photograph of a central figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-and-maroon robes, wearing a large multicoloured flower garland of red, yellow and white blooms and a gold-bead necklace, standing in front of a gold ornate throne-like chair and red curtains. Men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a checked blue shirt with a wristwatch, gather around him; one man in white gestures toward the garland while another holds a gold-bordered cloth. A tall gilded umbrella-like canopy hangs above. Swamiji (probable): the central figure wears a saffron-orange turban and ornate gold-bead necklace, receiving honours and a garland from devotees.
