A photograph of a devotee event at an open pavilion with a corrugated roof. In the centre, a bare-chested man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders places a white and red flower garland around the neck of a smiling man in a cream kurta. To the left, a woman in a red and orange sari with a red bindi stands with her hands clasped. Behind them, women in orange and white saris and other people are seated or standing, and an orange-clad man with short hair stands at the right edge. The garlanded man's kurta and the saffron clothing of the people around him are the most prominent colours. Since the page does not say Swamiji is present, the long-haired garland giver is described by role only.
