A photograph at a forest waterfall with a broad cascade over dark rock framed by green foliage. In the foreground a smiling young man with long dark hair, wet and bare-shouldered, wears a clinging red-orange cloth wrapped around his body. Behind him another man in a similar red-orange cloth stands near the falls, a shirtless man in green shorts wades in the water, and an older man with white hair and beard in an orange shawl stands at right. Two more men in white dhotis appear at left. Wet stone and a bamboo pole are visible at the base. The swami label does not apply because no candidate's appearance meets the identification criteria.
