In the foreground a man with long dark hair, a red tilak and a long rudraksha mala, wearing orange robes, stands beside a bald older man in orange robes and a second orange-clad figure. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha mala match the page's claim, but the face is not used for identity. On the floor at left, rows of copper and brass kalashas, bells and brass ritual vessels rest on coloured cloths, and a red cloth holds several dark polished shivalingams marked with white three-line tripundra. Other people in white and saffron stand at the right edge and in the back.2007-08-09August 09 20072007-08-09Photograph of three people in a covered hall beside a table of brass and copper kalasha pots and gold-coloured pooja items, with pink and green cloth bundles and small paper packets on the cloth-covered table.
