Outdoor street scene on a roadside with a black minivan and a green-and-yellow city bus behind. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a smiling face, a white floral garland, layered rudraksha malas, and a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment is standing center, with a gold-coloured bangle on his arm and his hand raised toward the head of an older man in white bending forward. Around them, shaven-headed young men in saffron wraps and rudraksha beads stand near, one photographing with a camera, and a woman in a cream sari with a striped border and beads watches. Several devotees in white press their palms together. Swamiji (probable) is the smiling central figure with long hair, garland and rudraksha malas, giving blessings to a devotee.
