A photograph outside a house in daylight. A person in a long-sleeved orange sleeveless top and orange cloth stands at right, with long dark hair and a white-and-red flower garland draped over the shoulders, receiving a silver vessel with flowers from a woman in an orange sari. A man in white shirt and white dhoti bends forward with his head lowered toward the garlanded figure. At left, an older woman in a white sari with a dark shawl and red bangles stands with her hand extended, and two older men in white stand behind her. Behind them are a cream-coloured building with white columns, palm plants and a silver car at the right edge. The garlanded figure with long hair and orange clothing is a probable Swamiji candidate, identified from appearance cues only.2010-02-17January 23 20102010-01-23A photograph outside a building with a white wall and metal-grilled window.
