Outdoor photo of a crowd in a leafy green setting with a festoon of colourful tassels overhead. At centre, a smiling person in an orange saffron wrap and orange garment wears a matching orange head-cloth, dark beaded rudraksha malas and a red tilak mark, with long dark hair falling behind. Beside them, a bald man in an orange top and rudraksha mala smiles, and another man in orange and white smiles nearby. In the foreground a man in a striped shirt holds a polished silver pot decorated with green leaves, a ritual vessel like a kalasha, while a man in red shirt claps his hands. Many men in white and orange clothing surround them. The centre figure's appearance with orange garb, long hair, rudraksha malas and a head-cloth is a probable Swamiji candidate.
