Behind them a priest in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha mala and a gold pendant holds oranges, and other devotees in white with folded hands stand near a golden pillar and a camera operator. Probable Swamiji with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, receiving fruit offerings in an ashram darshan setting.
