A photograph of a festive crowd gathered outdoors around a central man with long, swept-back dark hair, smiling broadly with a red bindi on his forehead. He wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over his shoulders and a heavy gold necklace, and a large garland of white jasmine and red flowers hangs around his neck. He raises one arm and points toward the people around him. Behind him, devotees in white and orange clothes clap, sing and raise their hands; a woman in an orange shawl and a woman in white with rudraksha beads smile and gesture. In the foreground, a bald man in white kurta is seen from behind, clapping. An ornate gold and red throne stands in the background above the crowd. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, saffron cloth, gold necklace and floral garland, as the central celebrated figure at a Jayanti celebration.
