Outdoor photograph on a river at dusk, with a pale pink sky and hazy far shore. A man with long dark hair and a flowing saffron-orange robe stands in a wooden boat holding a tall trident-topped staff, smiling. Beside him a second man in an orange wrap holds a long bamboo pole, and a younger person in a light blue hooded top points toward the water. A man in a striped orange shirt crouches in the foreground, taking a photograph. Onshore, a crowd of onlookers, some holding cameras, watches from a red-hulled boat and the riverbank. Swamiji (probable) is the standing man in orange with long hair and a trident-topped staff, based on his distinctive hair, saffron robe and trident cues.
