Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered around a central figure beneath two large ceremonial umbrellas in orange, red, blue and white with tasselled fringes and dove and lotus emblems. The central figure wears a gold crown, gold necklaces, a red and gold garment and has a tilak mark on the forehead, and holds a golden trident-like staff. Surrounding young people in orange and saffron clothing, some in white, press close, many with raised hands, and a peacock-feather fan with a red-and-gold medallion appears at right. Palm trees and a flat dusty ground with white poles stand in the background. The scene resembles a procession or darshan with youth devotees.
