A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with dense garlands of marigolds, roses and white flowers arching over a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a golden crown, wearing layered flower garlands and gold necklaces. A young boy in white dhoti stands before him, and two women in white and gold-bordered saris stand at the right. Behind them a large seated statue in saffron robes and a crown, with a raised hand and a leopard-skin throne, sits on a gold-trimmed dais. Pink and purple lighting and floral arrangements frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a golden crown, saffron robes and multiple garlands, a distinctive ceremonial presentation consistent with the page.

Behind him a large painted-looking portrait shows a saffron-robed sage with a rudraksha mala seated on a throne. To the left an attendant in orange cloth with a rudraksha mala kneels beside the seat.
