A large crowd of young men fills a tented stage area during a gathering. At the centre-back stands a man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair, surrounded by many boys and men in white, yellow, pink and orange shirts. A banner reading "LIFE BLISS TECHNOLOGY" hangs above the stage, flanked by framed gold-edged pictures. In the foreground, people in white and saffron-orange shawls stand with their backs to the camera, and a brass lamp stands at the right edge. The orange-robed man is a probable Swamiji (probable) standing among the crowd, identified by his saffron robe and long hair.
