Outdoors under trees, a seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban sits at the centre of a crowd, holding a cane and raising one hand in greeting. A rudraksha mala hangs on his chest. Around him stand men in white dhotis and white kurtas with orange shawls, a man in a striped orange-and-pink shirt, and men in checked and white shirts with ID lanyards. Above them, three large umbrellas in orange, red and blue with tasselled edges and a Dhyanapeetham emblem are held aloft. A camera operator stands at the right edge.
