Outdoor photograph at a public ceremony under a bright sky. At centre, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a green flower garland stands beside a tall white-and-blue pole, smiling and reaching up with one hand. Behind him, two colourful striped umbrellas with tasselled edges are raised over the pole. Around him, several men in saffron robes stand, with another in saffron at right. On the left, an older man in white dhoti and shirt raises his arm to the pole. At lower right, a man in white dhoti and shawl bows with folded hands, beside a tray of flowers. A crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts stands behind, with a small stall and vehicle at the upper right.

A man in long-sleeved orange robes with a green garland and a gold pendant raises one hand in blessing; a probable Swamiji, identified by long, swept-back hair, an orange robe, a green garland and gold ornaments, and by the page's claim that he is present. Two red and multicoloured ceremonial umbrellas with tassels are held above the flagpole. A second robed man in orange holds a silver incense burner and a tray of flowers. Around them, roughly a dozen men in white dhotis and shirts stand, one with a rudraksha mala. A boy in white holds a red and gold emblem with a white dove. Sunlit sky and a few distant poles in the background.2008-07-29July 29 20082008-07-29
