Outdoor event under a white tent with draped fabric and a blue-edged valance. A long-haired man in a cream shawl and white clothing stands at right, extending his hand to touch the forehead of a devotee in a white shirt. A golden lion-headed throne with garlands of red and purple flowers sits at right. Other devotees in white and red garments stand and sit in the background, with a row of seated attendees and a second person in white at the centre. The man on the throne is a probable Swamiji, identified by his long swept-back hair, cream shawl and the ceremonial setting; the page attributes this event to his Jayanthi celebration.
