Outdoor gathering on a dirt ground beside a white building with red-slatted windows and a willow tree overhead. A central figure with long dark hair, wearing a cream-white long coat with ornate embroidered collar and a white dhoti, stands smiling among a crowd. Around him are devotees in white kurtas and dhotis, women in white saris with orange or yellow shawls, and a man in saffron-orange robes holding a folded paper. Children and onlookers stand behind; fireworks debris and colourful paper litter the ground. Swamiji (probable): the central figure with long swept-back hair and ornate white ceremonial clothing, standing at the centre of the group.
