Outdoor photo at a temple-town ashram gate: a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange saffron robe, a dark rudraksha mala and a vibhuti mark on the forehead, speaking to a crowd. Around him men in white shirts, striped blue shirts and grey-green shirts listen closely, one man in a white dhoti-style outfit stands behind, and a bald man in front wears white and orange. Behind them stand a large blank white signboard, thatched-roof stalls with shelves and a bamboo-framed structure with saffron flags on poles. The orange-robed central man shows probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, while the page labels this event as involving him.
