A crowded outdoor temple-style gathering seen in a photograph. In the centre, a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe and a heavy gold beaded necklace sits on the ground, with a red bindi on the forehead and orange-beaded bangles on the wrists. A saffron-robed, shaved-headed man with gold necklaces leans in toward them from the left. Behind them, another shaved-headed man in saffron sits with a hand near his face, and an older man with white moustache wears a yellow-and-white shawl at right. A smiling woman in a dark red top and beaded necklaces sits at the lower right, and several onlookers in white and cream stand behind. A small round card with orange border is held up near the centre. The figure in the centre is shown as a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe and gold necklaces.
