A group photograph on an open rooftop with hills and clouds behind. A man with long hair in an orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold throne at center, with an orange cloth mat before him, a ceremonial trident and a decorated parasol-style standard beside him. Around him, many devotees stand and kneel: women in white and red saris and salwar with red garlands, men in white kurtas and white shirts, and a shaved-headed monk in orange robes at right. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the long hair, orange-red robe and ceremonial throne. A man in a striped shirt and a woman in a cream sari sit in the front row.
