Outdoor photo beside a silver minivan on a dirt road with trees behind. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a large garland of pink and white flowers, smiles while devotees gather around him. Women in green and blue saris, one holding a brass plate of yellow flowers, face him with hands raised in greeting. A man in a striped blue shirt stands in the foreground with his back to the camera. Behind them another man in an orange robe and orange shawl walks past with hands joined. Probable Swamiji is the central figure in the orange robe and flower garland, shown with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, being greeted at the roadside.
