Outdoor photo at dusk of a crowd gathered before a temple-style building with red pillars. In the centre, a long-haired man in a yellow sleeveless garment wears a white and red flower garland with gold beads and a gold armlet, hands pressed together and gazing upward. Swamiji (probable): long hair and a gold ornamented garment with a garland are the visible cues, and his role is the central figure at the gathering. To his left, an older man in white clothes with a mala presses his palms together. To the right, a shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and vertical tilak holds an orange cloth. Behind them, many devotees, several women in orange and white saris, stand watching.
