A standing man on a stage performs a namaste greeting with palms pressed together at chest height. He wears a large magenta fan-pleated turban with a small white ornament at its centre, a lavender silk dhoti-style garment with gold and magenta borders, and layered gold beaded necklaces, bangles and armlets. A red and gold shaggy rug covers the stage floor, a microphone rests on a red patterned cloth at lower right, and to the right a gilded throne with a swan-like carved back is decorated with yellow and pink marigold garlands. Pale peach walls and a dark red curtain form the backdrop. The pictured man appears to be a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, a crown-like turban and ornate gold jewellery, with a lavender ceremonial dhoti and namaste greeting. He is on stage and visible in person in this photograph.
