A photograph of a man standing outdoors in the evening, wearing an orange saffron shawl over his body and a heavy gold-toned bead necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. He stands with hands clasped in front of him. Behind him a tall gold trident stands upright. To the left a man in white robes and a gold necklace raises his palms, and a woman in dark clothes and a man in a blue shirt stand nearby among a crowd. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identified by the orange shawl, gold necklace and long swept-back hair; a sign in the scene is not needed for this label.
