Indoor photograph of a man in a saffron-yellow turban and matching yellow-orange robe with long swept-back hair, smiling and standing beside a large pink and white flower garland. He faces a woman in a purple and white patterned sari who presses her palms together in greeting. An older woman in white with glasses and a woman in blue sari stand nearby among other onlookers, and framed pictures hang on a pale wall beside a black pillar. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), shown in person as a candidate receiving devotees; the identification rests on the saffron turban and robe, long hair and garland cues only.
