A photograph of a temple-like hall with a corrugated metal roof and a red-and-gold deity shrine behind. A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a sleeveless orange saffron robe raises one hand in greeting while walking past a metal barrier. Several devotees line the rail: a man in a white shirt in the foreground with his palms pressed together, another man in white, and women in the background, one in a blue sari. A black speaker is mounted on the left wall. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and forehead mark are the qualifying cues for the central figure, who is greeting the devotees.
