A man in a saffron-orange shawl wrapped over bare shoulders stands outdoors against a bright blue sky with trees below. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala, has a white sandalwood mark across his forehead with a red dot, and his hair is swept back. He holds a brass hand bell in one hand and a lit brass oil lamp with a flame in the other, and carries a tall wooden staff in his right hand, with smoke rising beside him. A small blue logo appears in the upper right corner. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and rudraksha mala are consistent with the page's identification, but the match is uncertain.

Several white-clad devotees and a woman in a white patterned dress with a yellow lanyard stand nearby, hands folded, watching. A board with a portrait stands in the background.
