Outdoor street scene in front of a house with a patterned metal gate. A central figure in a rust-red turban, red-orange shawl and a garland of white and pink flowers with green leaves smiles broadly while a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, wearing a red-orange garland, reaches to touch his shoulder in greeting. Around them, men in white and saffron-orange clothing, one wearing a rudraksha mala and bare-chested, stand with a woman in a white sari and eyeglasses. A man in a white shirt on the right holds a striped ceremonial fan. Swamiji (probable) is the figure in the rust-red turban and garland, identified by the turban, garland and shawl cues while being greeted by devotees.
