A photograph taken in a narrow whitewashed corridor decorated with garlands of red and white flowers and green leaves hung over doorways. A central figure in an orange-red robe and matching red turban wears a long white flower garland, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, smiling as he walks through the crowd. Surrounding men in white shirts and trousers, one in a checked shirt and others in dhotis, press their palms together in greeting. A woman in a purple sari stands nearby. The figure's appearance (turban, saffron-orange clothing, gold ornaments and mala) is consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown in person being welcomed in the ashram corridor.
