A seated person in orange-saffron robes sits cross-legged on a white cloth scattered with marigold petals, hands pressed together in namaste at the face, on a boat or platform by a riverside ghat in Varanasi. The person wears long dark curly hair, gold bangles, a gold earring, a gold-toned pendant, a thick wrap of rudraksha beads at the waist and multiple long strands of white beads and rudraksha malas across the chest. Marigold garlands and a yellow-capped container sit nearby; behind are weathered stone steps and a wall with the printed words 'TRAINING CENTRE'. Several onlookers stand on the steps, one holding a camera. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), wearing distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, with the page indicating he is present at this event.
