A photograph of a ceremonial transfer on a stage decorated with gold-framed panels and a painted deity figure with raised arms at right. A smiling figure at left wears an ornate golden crown, orange robes, layered white and red flower garlands, and bracelets, and holds out a blue document with both hands. Across from him, an elderly seated figure with a shaved head and white forehead markings sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing orange robes and a red-and-green garland, and takes the paper. A man in orange robes stands behind them, and a microphone stand is at right. The left figure's cues (long hair, golden crown, orange robes, ornate necklaces) are distinctive, and the page identifies Swamiji at this event, so the left figure is a probable Swamiji presenting the document.
