Outdoor covered pavilion event with a corrugated metal roof. Centre: a smiling long-haired figure in an orange saffron robe with a white and multicoloured flower garland and a red bindi sits on a white cushion with a leopard-print throne-like seat. Behind him, a red umbrella with orange, green and multicoloured tassels is held aloft. To the right, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala and a badge holds a white cloth over his head. Other men in white clothes stand around, and seated devotees fill the lower left foreground. The figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robe and garland, a probable match to Swamiji, while a shaved-headed figure in white is clearly a priest or devotee.

A seated figure in orange robes and a large white-and-orange flower garland sits on a white-covered wooden chair on a patterned rug, smiling. Behind him, men in white dhotis and kurtas, several with orange shawls, carry an orange flag, and one holds a large ornate fringed umbrella in red, blue and orange. A man in white shirt and dhoti stands nearby with a green cloth. Floral and red-patterned mats cover the floor. The seated person's appearance carries several cues (orange robes, garland, central seat under a ceremonial umbrella) consistent with a person, so this is an appearance-based probable identification, not certain.
