Outdoor photo of a seated figure on a white-draped throne-like seat set on a green mat strewn with flower petals, wearing an orange robe and a large pink flower garland, smiling with one hand raised to the chin. An older man in a white dhoti and shirt bows low and touches the feet of the seated figure. In the foreground a man in a white shirt holds a metal tray of pink and white flowers and wears a rudraksha mala. Behind, a large crowd of devotees stands among orange flags, palm trees and a bamboo structure, with speakers and a camera operator visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe and a pink garland, and is the person being honoured.
