A photograph of a ceremonial moment in a gilded temple-style hall. A bearded man with long black hair, wearing a rust-orange turban with gold ornaments, a heavy gold necklace, gold armbands and a gold ring, and an orange-brown garment, sits on a red velvet seat with his hand resting on the shoulder of a seated devotee with bare shoulders and an orange cloth. The devotee wears a rudraksha mala. Behind them a woman with long black hair in a purple sari and a beaded necklace holds offering items. Brass lamps and gold carved pillars stand in the background. Probable Swamiji cues present: long hair, orange turban and saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and armbands, consistent with the page's reference to the Deepavali satsang blessing.
