A photograph taken at night at a temple or ashram-style hall with dark arched pillars behind. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a white forehead mark wears an orange-saffron cloth and a long garland of white jasmine and magenta flowers draped over his shoulders; he is smiling. The figure in the saffron cloth wears distinctive saffron clothing with long swept-back hair, a qualifying appearance cue for Swamiji (probable), shown here as a sannyasi receiving a garland. To his right, an older man in a white checked shirt with a white forehead mark walks beside him. Behind them are a girl in a green patterned salwar with a dark bead necklace, an older man in a patterned shirt with a red-and-white forehead mark, a man in a grey shirt, and a young man in white on the far left.
