A crowd of devotees gathers closely around a large framed portrait of a man in an orange saffron turban and orange robes, set against a purple backdrop with balloon decorations. Men and women in white and cream clothing press forward, with a man holding a video camera in the foreground. A woman with a white flower in her hair and a child in maroon stand among them, and a woman in a blue sari presses her palms together. Garlands of pink flowers hang near the portrait, which is a printed image rather than a physical person, and the scene appears to be a welcoming or darshan gathering.
