A photograph of a ceremonial ritual on a gold-trimmed throne platform under a canopy. A priest standing on the left wears a pink turban and a white dhoti with a red-and-gold border, and holds a silver lamp with lit flames toward a seated figure. The seated figure on the right, on a red-cushioned throne draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth, wears a red turban, orange-saffron garments and a beaded necklace, with hands folded in greeting. Garlands of yellow, orange and pink flowers decorate the throne and a gold-and-maroon umbrella stands above. Ceremonial silver staffs with trident finials, brass lamp stands and a white drape frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a red turban, saffron-orange clothing and a beaded necklace in a ceremonial setting, as an appearance-based candidate.
