Night photograph of a smiling man standing in front of a large dark arch with a silver ornamental crown and a silver makara-like head at the top. He wears a red-maroon garment, a dark beaded necklace, a long rudraksha-style mala and a thick garland of red, yellow and white flowers. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and has a red bindi on his forehead. Another person's arm from the left holds a silver aarti lamp with a flaming oil lamp above his head. A red and yellow flag and a black iron fence appear at right, with a window and framed picture at left. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair and saffron-red clothing with a rudraksha mala fit the probable identity, so he is labelled in_person with that cue.
