A photograph of an outdoor samadhi shrine under a palm-leaf canopy decorated with marigold and jasmine garlands. The raised pink platform holds a large floral rangoli of an om symbol with pink petals, orange and yellow marigolds, and pink flowers. A framed portrait labelled "Srimad Sachidananda Sri..." stands at the left beside the shrine. Two men in the foreground face the shrine: one in a white kurta with an orange shawl and mala, and a taller man in an orange top with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala. Several men in white shirts stand behind them, and red and orange festoons hang in the background. Four or five people are visible in total, and the taller man has distinctive long hair and orange clothing, so the Swamiji (probable) label applies to him, appearing in person beside the samadhi.
