Outdoors under a bright sky and palm fronds, a man with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala wears an orange-saffron robe and holds up pink flower petals above a copper-coloured ornate column or pillar. The column is wrapped with yellow and red marigold garlands and a bundle of straw, and a gold tray or vessel is held near his right side. Probable Swamiji's appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala) matches the page claim, and he is performing a flower offering to the column.
