He holds a small stack of printed cards in one hand while looking to the side. Standing behind and around him are other people in orange robes and rudraksha malas, plus a man in a white shirt holding a red tray and a man in a purple shirt with a camera. The setting is an outdoor camp with a dirt floor. The page identifies this as a Swamiji event and the man has a compatible presentation with several cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial garlands. Identity is probable from appearance only.2012-01-06
