Nighttime outdoor event on a red-carpeted stage. At left, a smiling man in a white turban, long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and a white and gold-bordered cloth holds a rope-like cord and sits beside a steel bowl of pink petals. Several people in white clothes bow or kneel on the carpet, including a woman with a long braid bending forward and a young woman in white bowing low. Behind them a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala watches, and a boy in white photographs with a digital camera. A decorated pillar with colourful fabric and gold ornaments stands behind the stage, with a loudspeaker and onlookers in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the turbaned figure with long hair and gold necklaces, shown in person.
