Photograph of a crowded temple inauguration event at night. A smiling figure in a maroon robe and red turban wears a white and red flower garland with rudraksha beads and reaches out a hand toward a man in a blue-and-white striped shirt who leans in to greet him. To the right, a man in a white dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala stands beside a gold-trimmed ceremonial canopy. Other men stand around, one on the left with a vermilion tilak on his forehead. The page indicates Swamiji is present, and the maroon-robed figure wears a red turban, rudraksha and garlands, which are consistent cues, so the figure is a probable Swamiji candidate.
