Photograph taken on a sandy riverbank beside a wide, murky river, with a distant shoreline crowded with people and small boats. In the foreground, a long-haired man in an orange shirt and matching orange wrap sits on the concrete edge, one hand resting on the back of another man who lies prone on the stone in a white dhoti and white shawl, bare feet visible. The seated man gazes toward the water. A line of small figures and tents lines the far bank under a pale sky. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated man, identified by long swept-back hair and orange ceremonial-style clothing with a white tilak on his forehead, seated beside a devotee in white.
