A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange sleeveless wrap sitting cross-legged on a low wooden seat with eyes closed and hands folded, a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him a white pedestal supports a dark stone deity murti draped with a garland of yellow and red flowers. To the left a brass kalasha-style vessel sits on the ground. Two men in white clothing with orange or yellow shawls sit nearby, one holding a stick-like ritual item, and smoke rises from a fire area with ash on the ground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron wrap and a tilak, a candidate for the page's Swamiji. The page says he is present, but appearance cues are only moderately distinctive, so this is a probable identification.
