A photograph of a formal stage event at an ashram. A man in a maroon and gold brocade robe with a golden crown stands at a gold-and-maroon throne decorated with marigold garlands in yellow, purple and green, reaching to accept papers from a smiling man in a black-and-white patterned shirt. Behind them stands a man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl. At right, a gold-framed deity murti in red cloth with a garland and a gold throne. An orange cloth hangs from a white and gold pillar, and orange and white drapes frame the backdrop. The wearer of the crowned robe is described only by role as a figure seated on the throne; identity is unconfirmed.
