A smiling man stands on a red-carpeted stage in front of a zebra-striped throne, wearing an orange saffron robe and layered red and green flower garlands with a lime-bead garland reaching his feet, plus a gold necklace and gold armbands. He has long swept-back hair and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a golden trident hangs from the decorated canopy of banana leaves and marigold festoons. To the right, a monk in orange kneels holding a large orange flag with a blue emblem, and a man in a black shirt with a camera stands further back. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and rudraksha-style garlands. A yellow and white flower-decorated stage edge runs along the bottom of the frame.
