A photograph taken at an outdoor gathering in front of a bright orange backdrop. A man in an orange turban and saffron-orange wrap sits cross-legged, wearing a long gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, with gold armbands and a red bracelet; he smiles and raises one hand in blessing. Beside him, a bald man in a plain saffron wrap and rudraksha beads sits with his hands near a wooden tray holding a yellow marigold garland and small metal bowls. Opposite, a man in a white striped shirt, glasses and a red lanyard leans forward with hands extended toward the tray. Two more people in orange robes sit in the background, one with a rudraksha mala. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in the turban shows distinctive saffron clothing, turban and ornate gold necklace cues.

In front of him, a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl kneels with his palms pressed together in namaste, head bowed, as a pada-puja-style honouring. Behind them, several people in orange and white stand and sit near a staircase, with a projection screen and a video camera on a tripod visible in the background. The floor has a yellow shag rug and brown striped carpeting.2012-12-20
