A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits on stone steps, smiling, with a long garland of green leaves, white flowers and yellow blooms around his neck and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. He has a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. Around him stand and sit devotees in orange and white clothing, some with gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and gold bangles, with a white-clothed man in front right. The setting appears to be an outdoor temple-side staircase. The man in the centre has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and ornate gold and garland adornments, matching the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, and is present in the photograph.
