Outdoor photograph at a stepped tank beside a stone amphitheatre with rows of red seats and red flags. A man with long dark hair and a full beard sits on an ornate silver-backed throne at left, bare-chested, wearing a saffron-brown wrap and a dark rudraksha mala draped over his shoulder, with a silver ceremonial staff beside him. To his right, rows of women in orange and saffron saris sit on the tank steps, several with hands folded in devotion. A woman in the front row wears a red-orange sari with a gold border. Water fills the tank at right, and a small white wall fan stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man with long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron wrap is in a presiding role on the throne.
