A photograph inside a pink-and-white tented pavilion where press and media crowd around a seated figure on the left wearing an orange turban and saffron cloth, with a large garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers draped over the figure. A bald man in white ritual dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl stands in the centre with his back to the camera, while a cameraman films and reporters hold microphones toward the seated figure. Men in shirts and a man in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stand at right. A gold kalasha-like vessel sits in the lower left foreground.
