A photo at an outdoor doorway framed by green trees. A bearded man with long swept-back hair wears white kurta clothing with an orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala around his neck, and he holds a folded white cloth with a small object on it. Beside him, a man in a white shirt holds a pair of scissors or cutter and leans toward a red ribbon stretched across the doorway, as if cutting it to open the space. Another man in white shirt with a pen in his pocket stands at right, and several more men in white shirts and dhotis stand behind them. Probable Swamiji (probable) stands at left, wearing an orange shawl, long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, and is presenting the folded cloth at a ribbon-cutting opening.
