Night outdoor ritual gathering under floodlights and a striped canopy, with a dense crowd of devotees in white dhotis, saffron and orange saris and shirts. On a raised platform at left, a figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robe with long hair and ornate gold-colored necklaces sits smiling beside gold-painted ornamental stands; the appearance cues are compatible with the page's Swamiji claim, so this is a probable identification. Near the foreground, a shaven-headed priest in white with a yellow-bordered shawl stands beside an ornate gold-and-orange palanquin or throne displaying garlands and offerings. Strings of small lights line the background pavilion.

The seated figure wears an orange turban, orange robes, rudraksha-style beads and bangles, and extends a hand to devotees. Devotees in white and pastel saris reach toward him with hands joined or outstretched, some holding offerings. Men in white dhotis and shawls with gold-bordered sashes and rudraksha malas kneel close.
