A bearded man with long swept-back hair and a red-orange saffron wrap walks down a central aisle lined with colourful striped mats in a large tent hung with bunting. He wears a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha-style bead bracelet, and he smiles as he walks. Participants on both sides stand with palms joined in anjali, some in black clothes and one bare-chested man in black shorts, while others bow or sit on mats. A small white statue stands in the background. Swamiji (probable): the man in orange has long swept-back hair, saffron wrap, and tilak.
