Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered among tall palm trees at a temple-style setting. In the centre, a long-haired man in an orange cloth stands on a raised platform near an ornate copper-coloured pillar, smiling and gesturing with one hand; a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl with a camera and shoulder bag stands beside him. A dark stone Nandi-style bull sculpture with a flower garland sits in the foreground beside the crowd of devotees, many in white and pastel clothes, some holding flower garlands. The featured man's appearance is consistent with the page's Swamiji reference (long hair, orange clothing), so the candidate is probable Swamiji (probable) present in person; the page describes a Holi celebration, but no coloured powder is visible.
