A seated man in an orange saffron garment draped over a red sleeveless top smiles and holds his palms together in greeting. His hair is swept back into a bun at the nape. A man in a white dhoti and shirt kneels before him with his head bowed, touching the floor near the seated man's bare feet. Behind them, several standing men wear orange and white clothing; one in a beige shirt stands with arms folded and another in white holds his hands in namaste. Before the seated man are heaps of white cloth bundles decorated with yellow and pink flowers and marigold garlands on an orange cloth. The setting appears to be a raised concrete platform at night. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure receiving devotion, identified by orange saffron clothing with swept-back hair and a bun.
