A photograph taken at night inside a temple-like colonnaded hall with white pillars and stone steps. In the foreground stands a man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, an orange saffron wrap and garment, a rudraksha mala, and a thick white and magenta flower garland around his neck, his hand resting on his chest. Behind him, several people in white and saffron stand in the dim hall, and a small oil lamp glows on the steps to the right. The figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable), based on his long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and garland. A dark stone sculpture is partly visible at left.

He has a large garland of pink-and-white roses and red flowers around his neck, and a red bindi on his forehead. His hands are clasped at his waist and he gazes upward. Behind him, several women in white saree-style clothing with gold borders stand with their palms pressed together in namaste. A girl in a pink top and blue pants also has her hands folded. A red-and-orange banner with printed text hangs on the wall behind. The man has long dark hair swept back and wears the saffron and rudraksha cues associated with the ashram's presentation, so the appearance-based label applies: Swamiji (probable), in person, receiving a flower welcome from devotees during a public gathering.2010-08-21July 24 20052005-07-24December 30 20062006-12-30A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe sits on a carved wooden chair in front of a grey stone temple pillar, wearing a red-and-white and yellow flower garland with purple orchid strands and a red tilak on his forehead.

A young man in white with a rudraksha-style necklace on the left holds a metal pot wrapped in green leaves and smiles.
