A photograph of a ceremony on a stage with a red curtain and gilded decor. A seated man on a red and gold throne wears a dark swept-back braided hairstyle, a crescent ornament on his head, a rust-brown robe, layered gold and beaded necklaces, and gold armbands. He extends a bundle of green grass toward a standing priest in a white dhoti with gold border and a yellow-green head cloth, who is bare-chested, wears beaded necklaces and bows forward with hands together over a small podium with a keyboard. A golden trident stands behind the seated figure and a gilded lion-like sculpture is at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a crescent crown, rust-brown robe and long swept-back hair with gold adornments.
