Outdoor evening photograph of a seated figure on a raised dais, wearing a white turban, leopard-print shawl and long ornate gold necklaces, with a long-haired appearance. A man in white shirt and dhoti stands at the right holding a silver tray of fruit near the seated figure, while another man in white with an orange-saffron shawl stands behind. Several devotees in white shirts sit on the ground in front, one with hands folded in namaskar. A stage light and speaker stand in the background. Cues of distinctive ornate clothing and long hair are present, so this may be Swamiji (probable) receiving devotees on the dais.
