Photograph on a stage with dark draped curtains and a black truss overhead. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a white forehead band and a tilak mark, wearing a rust-red wrap and a heavy gold-beaded necklace over an orange-red rudraksha mala, smiles and stands beside a gilded lion-footed throne. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace match the page's Swamiji cues. To the right, an older bearded man in a white robe and a golden-yellow shawl holds his hands together in greeting. At the left edge, a bald priest in orange clothing with a visible rudraksha mala holds a small object, and another man in glasses and a saffron-orange garment stands beside him. A golden lion figure is visible at the lower left, and the scene is lit for an indoor event.
