Night outdoor gathering under bright white floodlights. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a white-draped chair on a raised red-carpeted platform, with a fan and a water bottle on a white-covered table beside him. Many devotees in white ritual clothes stand in a line and crowd forward, several with hands folded or reaching toward the platform. Wooden poles and rope barriers line the dirt ground, and a few people in plain shirts and dhotis watch from the sides. The orange-robed figure with distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing is a probable Swamiji seated in person.
