A smiling man in an orange-and-white checked-collar pale pink shirt stands on a stage holding a framed certificate in a gold box, presenting it to a seated figure in a deep orange turban, orange-and-gold robe and a heavy gold beaded necklace. The seated figure wears a long garland of white, orange, green, pink and purple flowers and is smiling broadly. Behind them a backdrop shows a large golden deity murti. At left, a bald attendant in orange-and-gold robes holds a brass lamp, while another attendant in orange robes stands behind. A Swamiji (probable) candidate, identified by the orange turban, flower garland, ornate gold necklace and orange robes, receives the award; this is an appearance-based label only.
