A photograph of a central figure with long swept-back dark hair and a white vertical tilak on the forehead, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a thick red and white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces, bare-chested with gold armbands. He smiles and holds a red fruit or object in his hand toward a group of men. Around him, several men in casual shirts and t-shirts, one in a blue t-shirt, stand close; on the right, a man with a shaved head, red bindi and rudraksha mala wears a white dhoti. Framed portraits hang on a red wall behind, and a camera is partly visible at the right edge. Probable Swamiji is the central figure, identified by his long hair, saffron robe, gold necklaces and garland, with a ceremonial presentation of the red fruit.
