A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment wearing multiple garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves. He holds a brass aarti lamp with a flame and smoke rising from it, and a brass bell in his other hand, during a ritual. A white corrugated roof and blue sky form the background. Given the page's Swamiji flag and his long hair, orange clothing and garlands, this appears to be Swamiji (probable), performing aarti as a priest at the ceremony.
