A photograph of an indoor ceremony. A figure with long swept-back dark hair, orange-red clothing with a leopard-print cloth over the lap, a rudraksha mala with a ceremonial gold necklace, and a silver trident-staff leans forward and extends a hand to a kneeling man in a white striped shirt who offers small cupped objects. A smiling man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala stands behind them, and a partly visible man in white garments stands at the right edge. Orange marigold-type garlands decorate a pillar at left. Swamiji (probable) is seated centre-left in the orange-red robes, with distinctive long hair, rudraksha and ornate gold necklace cues; the kneeling man receives or offers something in his hands.
