A man in white kurta with orange shawl kneels on a teal mat at right, palms joined in greeting toward a seated figure. The seated figure has bare upper body, orange wrap, and long dark hair, sitting on a folded white cloth over a patterned rug. On the left, an older man in an orange robe sits on a grey tufted sofa. Behind them, a standing man holds a large ornate umbrella with red and orange tassels. Several white-clad men and women with orange shawls stand in the background, and a man at right photographs the scene. A shrine behind holds a deity murti with gold accents, a kalasha and brass lamps, flanked by red curtains. Evening light; the seated figure in the middle shows distinctive long hair and bare-chested adornment, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving honour, while the older man in orange robe and the others are devotees.2007-02-10
