A photograph of an outdoor temple-garden setting with stone sculptures and palm trees behind. In the centre, a man with long dark hair swept back wears an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, walking forward with his hands at his sides. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in white ritual clothes with a white cloth over his shoulder walks alongside. To the left, a crowd of devotees in white and light clothing stand with palms pressed together in anjali, a woman in a light-blue top at the far left. Behind them, a red-and-white swing frame, grey stone deity murtis and a concrete pavilion complete the scene. The orange-robed man has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala cues, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable) in this in-person photograph.
