Night outdoor photo on grass under dark trees. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair sits on a low folding chair with bare feet, hands pressed together in greeting and smiling. Before him, a man in white shirt and white dhoti kneels on the grass with hands joined, a red flask and a small bunch of flowers beside him. Around them, about six standing men in white shirts and dhotis and a woman in a beige salwar with an orange dupatta watch; one man on the right holds a white cloth over his shoulder, and another man sits cross-legged at the far right. The orange-robed figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance: long hair, saffron robe and a seated position of honour, with a kneeling devotee before him. Ordinary white-clad devotees are present around him.
