In the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange sleeveless robe and a rudraksha mala, raising one palm toward a man in a white shirt who stands at left with hands cupped. Beside the centre figure, a shaven-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl wears a gold necklace and a red tilak, holding a gold tray. At right, a bald man in orange robes holds an orange cloth and a brass vessel. Several onlookers in white and red shirts stand along a metal railing, and a banner with a blue bird logo hangs at upper left. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in orange with rudraksha mala and long hair.
