A photo of a figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark wavy hair and a rudraksha mala descending a grey marble staircase at a shop entrance. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls and a man in a white shirt follow down the steps, and a woman in a pink sari and others stand near a storefront draped with marigold and white floral garlands and bunting. A wooden pole rises at right beside a rolled shutter. A probable Swamiji is the figure in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala, shown descending the stairs, whose presentation carries the distinctive saffron clothing and mala cues. Other visible people include a devotee in an orange shawl and a bald older man in a white shirt in the foreground at right.
