Outdoor gathering of a large crowd in white and bright clothes around a raised platform covered with green cloth and scattered flower petals. A man seated on a white-draped seat wears an orange garment and a red-pink flower garland, with long swept-back hair and a red mark on his forehead; the appearance cues of distinctive hair, saffron clothing and garland are present, so this is a probable Swamiji. Men in white dhotis and shirts kneel before him with flowers and a plate of petals, a man in white bends forward to touch his feet, and a woman in a red and orange sari stands nearby. Palm trees and a thatched hut appear in the background, with speakers on poles at the edge.
