A photograph of a long-haired man seated on a stone step in an orange saffron cloth draped over his shoulder, bare-chested below, with a gold bead necklace of large ornate beads and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a silver trident upright in one hand and gazes to the side. Behind him stand a crowd of onlookers: a woman in a blue sari and glasses, a girl with long dark hair, a young man in a blue shirt, and men in white kurtas with red lanyards.

A man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red bindi on his forehead sits in an orange saffron wrap and wears a long rudraksha mala that falls to his waist. He holds a polished gold ceremonial staff with a leaf-shaped finial in his right hand. Behind him are brass oil lamps, bells and a carved grey stone panel, with an orange cushion at his side. The appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, and the page places him at this Sarvadarshan event, so the candidate is in person.

Behind them, a bald man in white and orange stands near a building wall with greenery and stone figures to the side. a person: the seated saffron-clad figure with a rudraksha mala shows a presentation consistent with the page's identification, but the face is not identifiable here, so this label rests on clothing and beads only.

Behind him sit several onlookers, including an older woman in a blue patterned shawl, a young girl with long dark hair, a teenage boy, and a man with a mustache in white.
