Outdoor group photo on a terrace with a volcanic mountain and green hills behind. A man in orange-red robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a wooden walking staff and orange-cushioned footstool; a figure with long dark hair and a mala is seated centrally, and the page indicates a person was present, but the central figure's appearance alone is insufficient for a confident identification. Around him stand and kneel devotees: sannyasis in saffron robes, several women in white with red beaded malas, a woman in a pink top and a small child in pink with a flower in her hair. Tall silver trishul staffs and yellow-and-red ornamental banners frame the scene.
