A photograph of a stage ceremony. A man in a rust-red turban with a crescent emblem, long dark hair, rudraksha malas, a gold necklace, red-orange robes and a jeweled belt stands on the left, smiling and receiving an orange cloth bundle with a folder from a second man. That man has a shaved head, white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, rudraksha mala and hoop earring, and bends forward to hand over the cloth. Behind them is a gold ornate throne and a painted backdrop with deity figures. Probable Swamiji is the man in the red turban, identified by his distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-red ceremonial attire.
