Outdoor photo under a white tented pavilion at a Guru Poornima event. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron cloth, a red-and-white flower garland and gold bracelets, stands at the centre holding a trident-topped staff and handing a tray of yellow sweets to a woman in a green-bordered sari with gold jewellery. Around them several people in white and saffron clothes stand and watch, including a young woman in white with a rudraksha-style necklace and a man in an orange shawl. A golden ornate throne and a brass plate of flowers appear at the edges. Swamiji (probable): the man has long hair, saffron clothing, garland and ornaments, though his appearance is only partly visible.
