A central figure with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange dhoti and shawl, a long gold necklace, a garland of white flowers and rudraksha beads, and bangles, with his right hand placed on his chest. Surrounding him, shaven-headed devotees in orange and white garments with rudraksha malas stand close, one holding a ceremonial staff with red and white cloth, and others in white dhotis with orange shawls. A cameraman with a video camera and a photographer with a still camera film the scene, and a uniformed police officer stands nearby. A tall painted structure and billboards appear in the background. Swamiji (probable) is shown as the central figure with long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and rudraksha garland, in the company of attendants.
