A large crowd of devotees, many in white clothes, raise their hands high toward a stage. On a white ornate throne-like seat beneath a golden canopy with a fringed umbrella sits a central figure in an orange-and-cream robe with a garland. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair and wears a saffron-toned shawl with a beaded necklace, and is the focus of the devotees' raised hands. Red and white swagged drapery hangs above the stage, with grey curtains behind. Photographers stand near the stage edge. Dozens of people are visible, most in white, some in yellow and grey.
