Night-time outdoor photo on a dirt path beside a tree. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron wrap sits smiling and laughing on a stone block, his arm folded across his chest. Around him, devotees in orange and white clothes stand and sit on the ground; one seated man in white holds a bottle, and a few people in white sari-style dress and orange shawls watch. A car and street lights are visible in the background. The seated man with long hair and saffron wrap fits the appearance-based Swamiji (probable) description, shown in person on this stone seat.
