Night outdoor gathering at a temple-style courtyard. A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne under a gold canopy, wearing an orange-red shawl, a pink-and-white flower garland, and a gold pendant necklace; the figure has distinctive long hair and ceremonial gold and saffron adornment, a probable Swamiji presence. Several devotees in white dhotis or white clothes with orange-brown shawls sit or stand facing him from the foreground. Behind the throne are a tiered decorated offering stand with yellow and pink ornaments and banana plants. A saffron-robed attendant stands at right. Green lights illuminate the scene.
