A photo of a child in white clothes tying a white thread on the wrist of a seated man in orange robes with a long swept-back hair, a flower garland of red, yellow and white blooms, and a red tilak on his forehead. The man sits on a golden throne with gold carved armrests, with a floral backdrop of pink, red and white flowers behind him. Beside them a woman in a yellow top and white dress and a man in orange robes handle the thread. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on his long hair, orange clothing and throne seating.
