A photograph of a ceremony indoors. A man seated on a gold-and-red throne wears a maroon-red robe, a red crown or turban with gold trim, gold necklaces and bangles, and a large garland of pink and white flowers draped over his shoulders. He is the central figure and appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the throne and ornate robe and crown; the appearance cues are moderately distinctive. Seated on the floor before him are several men: one in an orange-saffron robe with a shaved head and vibhuti on his forehead, two shirtless men wearing rudraksha malas and white dhotis with white body markings, and a bespectacled man in a white dhoti. A woman with grey hair in a cream sari kneels at the lower right with her head bowed. Behind the throne stands a deity murti in gold and red adornment, a brass oil lamp stands at left, and a ceiling fan is visible at top left.
