Night outdoor photograph of a long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe seated on a white-covered throne-style chair on an orange-edged platform. Behind the chair, a cameraman films, and palm fronds hang above. In the foreground, several devotees sit or kneel in front of the platform: a man in a white shirt with his hands raised, a man in a yellow-and-white checked shirt, a man in a dark shirt, and a woman in a black top with a blue-and-white shawl. Strings of bright lights and a large banner are visible at the left, and more spectators are seated at the far right. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair and orange robes, seated in a position of honour.
