Outdoor ritual scene under a open-sided pavilion with a tall wooden pillar wrapped in marigold and mixed-flower garlands. A man with long dark hair, rudraksha mala around his neck and a saffron-orange dhoti with gold border, stands at the pillar holding a silver bowl; he appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues of long hair, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing. Around him a crowd of devotees watches: a woman in a saffron-orange sari with gold border and rudraksha mala holds her hands together in namaskar, a woman in a cream sari with gold dots stands beside her, men in white dhotis and white shirts stand to the left, and a man in a white kurta with a lanyard stands to the right. Several people in the background wear white and red-bordered clothes. Marigold garlands and a white tent frame are visible overhead.
