Outdoor group photo on a hilltop terrace with a volcano and cloud-covered mountains behind. A man with long dark hair and a rust-orange robe sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-framed seat with a small orange mat and sandals before him. Standing around him are devotees in white and cream clothes with red-orange beaded lanyards, and several sannyasis in rust and saffron robes holding ceremonial tall standards with ornate red-and-gold canopies and silver trident-topped staffs. Several women in white saris and pink, orange and red attire sit or stand in front, and a young girl in orange clothing sits at right. The lone seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, given long swept-back hair and saffron robe cues, while the ceremonial setting is a sitting with attendants.
