Outdoor photo of a crowd gathered around a tall metal pole at a roadside site, apparently a flag-hoisting at a new centre. In the foreground a long-haired figure in an orange saffron garment and a red forehead mark stands with eyes lowered, while a man in white shirt and dark rudraksha mala steadies the pole. Around them devotees in white shirts and dhotis, women in blue and maroon saris, and a man in white with an orange shawl raising a video camera. Behind are parked buses, palm trees, a pink building and a low wall. Swamiji (probable) is the long-haired figure in orange robes with a red forehead mark, shown as an appearance-based candidate standing in the crowd.

Outdoors on a dusty roadside, a crowd gathers around a tall metal flagpole being raised with yellow rope. In the foreground, a long-haired figure in a red sleeveless top and orange shawl grips the pole, with a dark-clothed man bending nearby. Behind them, men in white shirts with rudraksha malas help hoist the flag, and a man in white with an orange shawl raises a camera overhead.
