Outdoor photo at a covered open-air stage with a green mat and white drapery. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and white dhoti sits on a white-draped seat, wearing a large white and red flower garland and smiling. Swamiji (probable) is shown here because of the saffron robes, long swept-back hair and garland, with this person seated in the central honoured position. A man in white shirt and dhoti stands at a microphone stand at the back. A kneeling man in white clothes joins his hands in front of the seated figure. A woman in a yellow and pink saree with gold bangles stands at left with folded hands. Metal plates of flower petals and a tray of offerings lie on the mat, a yellow-and-white garland is at the right, and a gilded framed picture sits beside the stage. Saffron flags and palm trees appear in the background.
