Night outdoor photo of a long-haired figure in orange cloth draped over one shoulder, seated on a white stone pedestal, smiling toward a kneeling bald man in orange robes at lower left. Behind them a semicircle of standing people in orange robes and white clothes, some with hands folded, one person holding a camera, with dark trees above. Flowers are visible at left and sandals sit near the pedestal base. The seated figure matches presentation cues for a person: long swept hair and bare upper body with orange drape, seated in a position of honour while a devotee kneels before him.
