A photograph of an outdoor gathering on sandy ground where a man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a red padded chair. He wears an ornate cream and gold embroidered kurta with matching gold dhoti-style trousers, a gold necklace and orange sandals, hands folded in his lap. Around him stand many people in white kurtas with rudraksha malas and orange robes, and a person in orange holds a bottle near him. A seated figure with long hair, shawl-like gold embroidery and ceremonial gold chains matches the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues, seated as a central honoured figure.
