A standing man in a flowing saffron-orange garment with shoulders bare at the arms, long dark wavy hair swept back, a white vertical tilak and red bindi on his forehead, looking downward with hands near his sides. Seated behind him on mats under a large spreading tree are many devotees in white clothes, some with garlands and white shawls, with a few people standing among the trees. The orange-robed figure fits the Swamiji (probable) cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and sacred markings, and is shown standing before the seated congregation at the outdoor satsang.
