A seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a gold-bordered white cloth draped over his shoulder, smiles as he receives a garland of red, pink and white flowers from another man's hand. He is adorned with a large multicolour flower garland across his chest. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt bows low, pressing his forehead to the seated man's knee in devotion. Behind them, a standing figure in white kurta and pants with a red sash stands barefoot. A red bowl, a white-draped table and loose flower petals are visible in the room.

Long dark hair falls past the shoulders. In the foreground at left, a balding older man in a white shirt and dark rudraksha-style beaded necklace leans forward to touch the seated figure's feet or hands. At right edge, a woman in white with hands pressed together in a namaste gesture watches. The scene reads as a darshan or devotee greeting. The seated figure shows long swept-back hair, saffron robe, floral garland and a bindi, which are appearance cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable match.2008-06-22April 30 20062006-04-30A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange saffron robe and a garland of white jasmine and pink flowers with yellow blossoms.
