A photograph inside a temple hall with ornate painted pillars, arched doorways and a blue painted shrine backdrop with a golden canopy. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a rudraksha mala, walks barefoot down a red carpet, with a bearded man in white robes and a saffron shawl beside him, and bare-chested men in white dhotis and an orange-clad man following. Devotees in white kneel and stand along the sides, and a woman in pink stands at the left. Swamiji (probable) is the man with long hair in the orange robe and rudraksha mala, identified by appearance cues only.
