A photograph of a crowd in a temple corridor with carved grey stone walls. In the foreground a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, an orange saffron robe and a heavy gold bead necklace stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Beside him a younger man in an orange robe with white tripundra marks bows slightly. Behind them devotees, including women in yellow, red and pink saris and a man in white, fold their hands in namaskar. Swamiji (probable) appears in person: the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklace are visible cues.
