Photograph taken from below of a man in saffron-orange robes standing outdoors beneath palm fronds against a bright sky. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck and a sleeveless orange top with an orange wrap draped over his shoulder. He holds a bundled orange-and-white flag in one raised hand while gripping a white rope with the other, apparently hoisting the flag. His long dark hair is swept back and he looks upward with a smile. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, with the flag hoisting taking place as the page describes.
