A photograph of a stage decorated with flower garlands in yellow, orange, red and white, and a patterned cream and pink floor. A long-haired figure in white clothing and a yellow flower garland reclines on the stage, arms outstretched. Beside them stand several people in orange and white attire, some seated or kneeling near a red cushioned seat. A deity murti is visible at the lower left edge, and the scene is strewn with colourful petals. Appearance-based cues are distinctive: long hair, white ceremonial clothing and a garland, so the reclining figure is Swamiji (probable).
