Outdoors on bare dirt ground with trees and palms behind, a long-haired man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, holds up a printed poster showing a bearded face with a trident-like figure, while a man in a red-and-white checked shirt and a man in white with orange wrap look on. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair and saffron wrap are the visible cues for the central figure, who is handling the printed poster. Two other men stand nearby, one with a tilak on his forehead.
