A stage at an outdoor pandal decorated with marigold garlands and flower arrangements. Several people in saffron and orange robes stand in conversation with a man in a white shirt and dark trousers at centre. One saffron-clad figure wears an orange turban and has long dark hair, and appears to be the Swamiji (probable) based on the orange turban, saffron robes and long hair, standing at the right of the group. Behind them a large banner shows a row of circular portrait photographs, with a Kannada-script headline and a date of 30 December. To the right a deity murti is depicted on a backdrop, and a brass oil lamp with a garland stands on a flower-decorated table. Gold ornate chairs with red cushions line the stage.
