Photograph taken at dusk or night on a sandy open ground, with a dark sky and a few distant street lamps and illuminated decorations behind. Five men walk together. In the centre-right, a smiling man wears a bright orange turban, orange robe and a rudraksha mala, with sandals on his feet. Beside him at left, a bearded man with long curly hair wears orange robes with red borders, a rudraksha mala, and is barefoot. Behind them, two men in white dhotis and white shirts with orange shawls and beaded necklaces walk, and a fifth man in a yellow shirt stands further back at left. Swamiji (probable): the smiling man in the orange turban, with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron robes, walking in the group.
