A photograph inside a red-draped tent at an event, with a large ornate gold throne in the left foreground. A man with long dark hair and a dreadlock-like style sits on a red cushioned seat wearing a multicolored floral garland and an orange wrap; several orange folded cloths lie on the throne's base beside a brass vessel and water bottle. He appears to be the probable Swamiji in the appearance-based sense, with long hair, orange clothing and garlands as cues, and he receives people in front of him. A woman in an orange-red sari with a bindi and red-and-gold attire stands beside him, holding a small item. Two women in purple and pink salwar kameez and a man in a red checked shirt with glasses stand close, extending their hands with offerings, while a man in a teal shirt looks on at the right. Behind them, other devotees and a camera operator on a tripod stand in the background.
