A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe and a rudraksha mala, holds a small handbell in one hand and raises a ritual object in the other. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange robes presses his palms together, and another orange-robed figure stands behind the pillar. A young man in orange sits at the lower right edge. The long hair, ornate ritual attire and rudraksha cues fit the Swamiji (probable) appearance profile, and the figure is physically present, so the swamiji field reflects that candidate, with the visible ritual setting and other orange-robed devotees described by role.2008-03-23
