Photograph of an outdoor evening crowd at a public event. A long-haired figure in orange-saffron robes sits at right, smiling, with a white cloth beneath him, and another man's hand rests on his head in blessing. In front, a man in a khaki uniform bows and touches the seated figure's feet while a small boy in a red shirt is held nearby by a woman in a dark outfit. Surrounding men wear white shirts and white dhotis, several with beaded or pendant necklaces, and more people stand behind in the dim background. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron robes, a probable Swamiji cue, appearing in person as a seated honoured guest receiving devotees.
