Photograph taken from behind of a figure on a red stage, with very long dark matted locks falling past the waist and a thick rudraksha mala of reddish-brown beads around the neck. The figure wears a saffron-orange garment. Beside the stage stands another person in orange-red robes at the left edge. A large audience fills the tent behind, many with raised arms, and a screen at the right shows a close-up of a smiling figure in orange robes. Hanging decorative lanterns in red, yellow and green decorate the tent ceiling. The figure is a person by long dreadlock-style hair, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, though the face is not visible.
