The garland-receiver wears rudraksha beads and a tilak on his forehead. Behind them a silver SUV is parked, and a white-clad man with a rudraksha mala and yellow shawl stands at left. A cameraman in white with a mala films at right, and another white-clad man in a yellow shawl stands beside him. A roadside banner behind shows a photograph of a bearded man and the words Nithya Ahadham and Bidadi Ashram. The receiver matches the Swamiji appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and rudraksha malas, so Swamiji (probable) is the label for the man being garlanded.2009-12-30
