A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a dark rudraksha-style bead necklace receives a rolled scroll from a man in a white shirt and dhoti at a ceremonial exchange. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold and red throne-like chair, extending his hand. Behind them, several men in orange and white stand; one in orange robes watches, and another in white holds a black DSLR camera. A brass plate of fruit, including apples and bananas, sits on a wooden table beside them, with an orange curtain and red pillars in the background. Probable Swamiji: the seated saffron-clad figure with long swept-back hair and rudraksha beads is seated on the throne and is the central honoured figure, though the appearance is only a candidate.
