A photograph of a ceremonial reception in an indoor hall with red curtains. A seated person in an orange saffron robe, with long swept-back hair, sits on a gold-trimmed throne with cream cushions and a gold lion-shaped armrest carving, receiving an offering from a woman in a white sari with a red blouse and green border who holds a tray and a folded paper. Two men in white kurtas and a woman in a light blue shawl stand to the left with hands joined in namaste. Gold plates with flower petals and offerings lie on the floor in front. A gilded ornate backdrop stands on the right. The orange-robed seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, consistent with a probable Swamiji presence on the throne.
