A photograph at a stage event where a man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and white flower garlands, sits on a gold-and-cream seat and extends his hand to receive an offering from a row of men in white shirts and dhotis. Behind him is a painted backdrop of a green tree on an orange sky, a gold deity murti stands at the right edge, and a microphone stand and flower offerings sit in the foreground. Several men in white and in orange-saffron stand in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, flower garlands and long swept-back hair, a cluster of cues consistent with the page's claim, so this is an appearance-based label only.
