Night-time photo at a riverside stepped ghat with a metal railing. A bare-footed figure in a leopard-print shawl over orange-saffron cloth walks down the concrete steps, long dark hair falling loose. Around them, people in white ritual clothing stand and move along the steps, and a line of children in pink, red and striped clothes crouch and stand on the steps, watching. A man in a maroon shirt stands in the background among onlookers. Wooden poles and a dark water surface lie to the left.

In the foreground a bare-chested figure with long swept-back dark hair and an orange wrap, holding a microphone, faces the crowd and speaks. Around them many people wear white ritual clothes and orange shawls, with several young girls and children in front. On the right a man in white raises a video camera. A string of lights and a dark tree line appear behind. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, orange wrap, bare chest), so this is a probable identification with the page's claim of Swamiji present; the figure is a presiding teacher speaking to devotees.2006-10-21Night photograph of a crowd outdoors at a Deepavali celebration, with a standing man in long swept-back dark hair, an orange-saffron dhoti-style wrap with red border and a rudraksha mala, extending his arm toward a small boy in white clothes holding a lit sparkler. Swamiji (probable) is the standing figure in saffron-orange with rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair, matching the page's account of the event. Around them devotees in white and orange garments and saris watch; a young boy in blue kurta and an older man in a checked shirt crouch in front.
