A seated figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long multicolour flower garland and sits on a raised platform beneath a white canopy with red and silver fringe, held aloft by a man in white on the right. A cluster of devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls, some with rudraksha malas, surrounds him on an open dusty ground with tall white poles behind. A man in white holds a video camera at left, and a woman in orange at upper left shields her eyes from the sun. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron robes, a rainbow-coloured floral garland and a red forehead mark, and is the central honoured figure of a procession-style reception.
