Outdoors on a stone ghat in Varanasi, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits cross-legged, wrapped in a flowing saffron-orange robe that covers his shoulders and lap. Behind him a crowd of onlookers sits and stands along the steps, including a man in a white kurta, a woman in a blue shawl, and a man in a green striped shirt, with a man in a white cap photographing. A yellow sign on a white building reads Shitala Mata Dham, Dashashwamedh Ghat. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long, swept-back hair and saffron-orange robes, consistent with the page's description of him at this event.
