A photograph at an Angkor-style temple ruin with weathered sandstone pillars and a carved relief panel of a standing female figure on the left. A man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange wrap and a rudraksha mala, stands at centre-right looking toward the carvings; the cues here are long hair, saffron clothing and the rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, appearance-based only. Beside him a woman in white with a green and yellow shawl listens, and another woman in a white top touches the stone with one hand. Two people photograph the scene with cameras, and a figure in white with an orange sash stands at the right edge. Dense green trees fill the background.
