A seated man in an orange saffron robe and a long white-and-red garland of jasmine and roses sits under a large white umbrella with red tassels and dark embroidered lotus and bird motifs, set on a steel-frame canopy during an outdoor ceremony. He wears a red tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, and rests his hands on a white cloth draped over his lap. Other people in white and orange clothing stand in the background, and a decorated arch with colourful flowers is visible at left. Swamiji (probable) appears in person, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland.
