Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a saffron-red wrap, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Around him, a bespectacled saffron-robed sannyasi with tripundra marks and a white-clad elderly man with folded hands watch, while other devotees stand in the background of a hall with ceiling lights and a projection screen.

Several devotees in plain white clothing stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, including a shaved-headed young man wearing glasses and a bearded man in white.

A photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red dot on his forehead, a red-orange robe and multiple beaded gold-toned necklaces, who places his right hand on the head of a kneeling man in a grey shirt. Several other devotees in white and orange clothing stand with hands folded in prayer behind him, and a figure in orange is visible at the right edge. The setting appears to be an indoor hall with a red curtain.
