Outdoors on a dusty ground, a man with long swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron wrap raises a slender dark staff overhead with one hand. He wears beaded rudraksha malas around his neck and wrists and an armlet of beads. Around him stand other people in saffron robes at left and in white shirts, cream kurtas and white dhotis; a man in a white shirt with a shoulder bag and a rudraksha mala looks on, and another man photographs with a phone. Behind them hang white cloth banners on a metal frame beneath trees. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues.

A man with long swept-back dark hair and a red forehead mark wears an orange robe draped over one shoulder, orange dhoti-style trousers, a rudraksha mala necklace and matching beaded armlets and wristbands, and orange sandals. He raises his right arm holding an orange umbrella aloft. Around him, men in white shirts and white dhotis stand watching, and a few other people in white and orange clothing are visible at the edges.
