Photograph of people gathered before an ornate gilded throne with a painted banyan-tree backdrop. A man in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on the throne, his hands near his lap, and appears to be speaking. Around him, a man in white kurta embraces a man in a beige kurta, while a woman in white with a red shawl and a woman in a white sari with a pink border and long braid stand nearby, along with other people in white. A man in orange robes stands at the left. The setting suggests a welcoming ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in saffron robes with long hair fits the appearance cues, shown in person on the throne.
