A photograph of a seated bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and a white-and-gold crown, wearing a heavy garland of white jasmine and red roses and holding a green fruit. Behind him hangs an orange and red drape with floral garlands. A shirtless priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left with palms pressed in namaste. Several women in white and cream saffron-bordered saris stand and sit nearby, one holding red roses, and a young girl in a pink top and purple skirt sits at right. Flower petals scatter the floor, with a copper vessel and a wicker basket in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, a crown and a heavy garland, a presentation consistent with the page's identification.
