A photograph of a smiling person standing in the centre of a doorway at a temple entrance, wearing a maroon turban with a red tilak on the forehead, a maroon and gold robe, a thick white and yellow flower garland with pink petals, gold bangles, and a gold pendant. Two men flank the central figure in orange shawls: the man on the left wears a dark green kurta and glasses, and the man on the right wears a white shirt and black trousers with glasses. A bald man in a dark maroon shawl stands behind, a man at the far right wears a white shirt with an orange shawl and a bearded older man in white stands beside him. A signboard in Gujarati script is mounted on the wall at the top right. Pale marble panels and a wooden door frame surround them. Several people are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure, identifiable by the turban, the flower garland, and the maroon and gold robe.
