A photograph of a smiling young man in an orange saffron robe with bare shoulders, wearing a tall golden crown decorated with a peacock feather and carrying a thick garland of white and yellow flowers with pink, red and green accents across his chest. He stands with palms pressed together in a namaskar gesture. Behind him, a crowd of men and women in white ritual clothes with orange lanyards and identity badges claps and smiles under dark draped curtains. A blue and white banner at the upper left reads Dhyanapeetam. The prominent figure matches the page's description of Swamiji (probable), based on the saffron robe, golden crown, garland and bare shoulders, presented as the honoured guest of the celebration.
