Night outdoor event under a canopy hung with yellow, pink and orange marigold garlands and a pink zigzag border. A bright floodlight glares at upper left. On a raised platform at right, a man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron robe, wearing a long multi-strand white flower garland, sits with a small packet in his hand; the appearance cues (saffron turban, garland, saffron robes) are consistent with the page's claim, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in person. Flower bouquets in purple and white sit on the table before him, and a large printed portrait of a smiling man in a white head covering fills the backdrop at right. Several men in white shirts and checked shirts stand at left, one holding a small packet, and a blue curtain hangs behind the platform.
