A photograph of a ceremonial welcome at an indoor event with an orange and red draped backdrop. A seated bearded man in a maroon robe sits on a red-cushioned seat, wearing a tall flower-decorated crown and layered garlands of red, pink and white flowers; he is the central figure, and the page identifies him as Swamiji, appearance-based label Swamiji (probable), with his crown, garlands and ornate ceremonial attire as cues. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands behind him, scattering petals. A woman in a maroon sari with glasses stands with hands folded at right, and a man in a red shirt stands at left. Petals fall around, and in the foreground a woman with a bun holds a woven basket and a person in the lower left shows rudraksha beads.
