Night photograph of a crowd at an outdoor event. A figure in orange robes with a matching orange turban, long swept-back dark hair, and a rudraksha-style adornment sits on a white-draped seat and places his hand on the head of a smiling woman in a white sari, while a young boy and other devotees gather close. Garlands of white jasmine and red flowers lie on the seat. Behind them many people in white shirts and dhotis stand watching under dim lights. The figure matches Swamiji (probable) by his orange turban and robes and long hair, and the page indicates he attended this event. Recipients of blessing and devotees surround him.
