Night photograph at a riverside ghat with warm, blurred golden lights and a large crowd in the background. In the right foreground a man in saffron-orange robes, with long swept-back dark hair, a white horizontal tilak across his forehead, gold earrings and a rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold necklace, sits in profile on an ornate silver-trimmed seat, looking to the left; this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji identification, not a confirmed one. On the left a man in a white shirt with a small red tilak sits behind a white railing, and another seated man is partly visible behind the railing near the centre. A red banner pole stands at the left edge.
