Outdoor photo on a paved brick courtyard with green trees behind. A smiling man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha-style red-orange robes, a gold-chain necklace and a bindi sits on a golden ornate throne with a leopard-print cushion, giving two thumbs up. Beside him a shaven-headed young man in red garments and glasses sits on the throne's edge. A woman in a red sari with a rudraksha mala and bindi sits on the left, clapping. Standing behind, a man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala holds a video camera, and another man in white holds a ceremonial staff with an orange flag. A silver ceremonial axe-staff rises at top. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in red-orange robes with long swept-back hair, gold necklace and throne seating.
