A smiling man with long dark hair and white forehead markings sits on an ornate silver throne-like chair beside a river gravel bank. He wears a red-maroon shawl with gold border, a long braided rudraksha-style mala and gold-toned necklace, and a leopard-print cloth at his waist, with his right hand extended. A tall silver trident stands beside the chair. Around him, people in orange and white robes stand and kneel, including a shaved-headed devotee in orange in the lower right. The background shows blurred greenery and pebbles. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated central figure, with long hair, saffron-toned shawl and ornate necklace; the identification rests on appearance cues only.2014-03-10Outdoor photo on a pebbled riverbank.
