A night-time outdoor event on a raised stage with bright floodlights overhead. A man with long dark hair, wearing a white turban, white robe and a yellow-gold shawl, sits on a white throne-like seat with white cushions and gestures toward a group. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis, one wearing a red-and-gold shawl, sit or stand with palms pressed together in respectful greeting. A younger man in a white shirt and beige trousers wears a rudraksha mala and stands with hands folded. Beyond the stage, rows of red chairs and a white-lit building are visible. Swamiji appearance is a probable match: long swept-back hair, white turban and gold-trimmed shawl on a throne.
