A photograph of a crowded devotional gathering inside a decorated hall with yellow flower-draped walls, pink curtains and a standing fan. At the centre, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment and a white flower garland, and is surrounded by many young girls in white and blue dresses who reach toward him with raised palms. Two women in red and pink saris and a young man in white with an orange shawl and beaded necklace stand nearby. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, flower garland) is at the centre of the crowd receiving devotees. Other people include children in white, a woman in a pink sari and a man in white kurta.

He holds a silver bowl, and several people in the crowd reach toward it.
