A man with long dark hair and a white vibhuti line with a red mark on his forehead stands at the centre, wearing an orange saffron cloth wrap over his shoulders and body, a gold ornate pendant necklace, and a long garland of red flowers and white jasmine with green leaves draped from his neck to below his knees. Around him, a man in a white shirt and dhoti stands at left, and devotees in orange garments and green and white clothing crowd the background, with a young man in orange holding a pink cloth at right. Carved stone columns rise behind them. Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, orange clothing and ornate garland cues.
