Photograph of a ceremony on a gold-ornate throne draped with red cushions and garlands in orange, white and green. A smiling man in saffron-orange robes, a matching orange turban and a long orange-and-white garland sits on the throne holding a small orange packet. A second man in orange robes sits to the left, and a person in orange silk bows forward over a tray of fruit, grapes, bananas and flowers in front of the throne. A trident and a silver lamp stand at the sides. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure wears orange robes, a turban and rudraksha-style beads with a garland, and the page identifies him as present.
