A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a gold-edged border, standing with palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed beside a decorated pillar with red, blue and yellow floral and geometric patterns. He wears a thick garland of white jasmine and red flowers around his neck and shoulders. Behind him, an older white-haired man in white clothes stands beside a tray of green leaves and flowers, and a green canopy overhead. Appearance-based probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a garland; the page identifies the event as a 2008 ashram inauguration.
