A festive outdoor celebration under a white tent with pink draped valances and loudspeakers, where a long-haired figure seated at left, wearing an orange-red garment, a floral-patterned shawl, and a trident-topped silver staff nearby, smiles broadly while raising hands in greeting. Crowds of devotees in white and orange surround the scene; a man in a white shirt and gold-rimmed glasses holds a large brass bowl of offerings, while others stand with palms joined in namaskar.
