A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron unstitched wrap draped over his shoulders, with a white vertical forehead mark and red bindi, looking down at a grey cylindrical stone object being held out to him by a hand reaching from the lower left. He stands on reddish dirt beside a tree trunk, with a green trailer and bamboo framework in the background. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), the person with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and sacred marks. The stone resembles a shivalingam or ritual stone being handed over at a land and construction site.
