Nithyanandapedia
Outdoors at a festival setting beneath a decorated canopy with cream drapery, yellow and purple flower garlands, orange pennants and a hanging bunch of green bananas and coconuts. A man in a white kurta and white head wrap stands on the left with his palms pressed together in greeting. Facing him is a figure in long flowing orange robes with a crown-like orange head wrap, long dark hair, rudraksha mala beads and an orange shawl, who appears to be receiving the greeting; this figure has distinctive saffron and mala cues, so the Swamiji (probable) label applies to the figure with a white jasmine-style garland in hand. Around them stand men in white and light shirts, a uniformed police officer in khaki on the left, and a monk in orange on the right holding a garland. Several onlookers stand behind.
