A photograph of a long-haired man in orange saffron clothing seated on an ornate gold throne with a large gold arched backrest, draped in white and red garlands and framed by yellow, orange and purple flowers and palm fronds. Behind the throne, a trident-topped staff stands to the left and a gold staff to the right. Two attendants in orange clothing stand at the lower corners, one holding a metal staff and one tending the floral base. Behind them, many people in white clothing stand on red stone steps beside water, some with hands folded, and a drummer plays at upper right, with a multicolour umbrella at upper left. The man wears a red rudraksha mala with a white garland over his shoulders. Swamiji (probable): his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala match the page's identification, though the face is not used for identification.

He wears white and red flower garlands over a rudraksha mala and smiles while raising one hand in blessing. Two attendants in orange sit nearby, one holding a long trident staff, and a striped umbrella shades the platform. Behind, many devotees in white and yellow dhotis and saris stand on red steps and in the water, some with hands folded and drummers at the upper right. The scene is a holy dip at Vaidya Sarovar.
