A photograph of a long-haired man in a cream wrap and a red garland with gold ornaments, leaning with closed eyes toward a large tree trunk. Orange and yellow marigold garlands hang across the trunk, and tall grey poles stand behind him. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, red-and-gold ceremonial garland and ornate gold necklace fit the page's description of the event, so he is identified as a probable candidate, here shown in person, performing a reverent gesture at the tree.
