A photograph of a covered courtyard entrance at a temple-like building with white walls and open wooden doors. A man in an orange saffron robe with a long floral garland of white jasmine and red roses walks forward, his long dark hair swept back, with a red mark on his forehead. He is flanked by men in white dhoti and shirt, a man in a blue shirt, a young boy in a dark shirt, and a girl in green with a woman in red on the right. Behind them, a canopy with green leaves and a red and white cloth strung overhead. The man in orange has distinctive long hair and saffron robe cues, matching the page's reference to Swamiji, so the appearance-based label applies, though it is probable rather than confirmed. Another man in white wears a rudraksha mala. Printed signs in Tamil are on the walls.
