Outdoor photo of a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne on an orange-draped stage, wearing an orange robe and multiple rudraksha malas with a white flower garland, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. The throne and stage are heavily decorated with yellow, orange and pink marigold and rose garlands, palm fronds and flower arrangements. Dense crowd members stand at the stage edge, some reaching up with hands raised. Behind, tiered red seating holds people in white clothing, and a yellow-and-blue canopy with tassels stands at the right. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and rudraksha malas seated on the throne.
