A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-red robe, a pink-and-white flower garland, gold armbands and bangles, and a gold pendant, with long dark dreadlocks and a beard. A bare-chested younger man in white dhoti with white sacred ash marks on his arms and chest leans forward and extends his hand toward the seated figure. Behind them, a man in a purple saree-style garment with a rudraksha mala and a bearded man in white stand nearby, with colourful hanging decorations overhead at night. Visible physical people appear to be four, with the seated man as a probable Swamiji candidate by his crown-like hair, saffron-orange robe, flower garland and gold ornaments, presented as a ceremonial blessing or initiation scene.
