A photograph of a man standing barefoot-adjacent on a grey floor in front of an orange-painted wall under a corrugated roof. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder and a long rudraksha mala of dark brown beads reaching his waist, with long dark hair swept back, white vibhuti and a red tilak on his forehead. His hands are pressed together at his waist. Behind him, women in white and yellow-bordered saris and shawls stand watching, one holding a pink container, with a water bottle and a red mat nearby. A framed picture hangs on the wall. Appearance cues match the probable Swamiji with saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and rudraksha malas, so this is labelled Swamiji (probable) in the in-person standing role.
