A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing layered gold necklaces, a rudraksha mala and gold armbands. He extends his arm to hand folded saffron cloth to a woman with long dark hair who reaches up with cupped hands, a devotee in orange clothes. Behind them, people in orange and white stand on red steps beneath palm-decorated railings, with a tall ceremonial staff and a bell-like finial in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces on a throne, cues consistent with a presiding guru receiving offerings. Tall flowers and a crowd of devotees complete the outdoor gathering.
