In the foreground at right, a bare-chested man with long dark hair, a white forehead mark, a large white-beaded mala and orange-red shawl stands near the boat's edge, the figure matching the swamiji cues of long swept hair, distinctive adornments and saffron clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) present in person, his hand raised in blessing. Beside him women in orange and white saris with orange shawls press palms together, one holding a small brass object, while more women in orange and red sit along the boat with flower garlands. Silver trishul staffs and a golden staff stand upright on the boat and the water bears marigold petals.2013-02-13February 13 20132013-02-13
