A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead stands in a procession at night, wearing a thick garland of white, yellow, red and green flowers with a rudraksha mala on his arm. Beside him is a silver staff with a curved top. Behind him a second man in orange robes and glasses holds a silver staff, and a brass-framed canopy with hanging crystal beads is overhead. Swamiji (probable): the man with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland in a processional setting matches the page's reference to Swamiji in person.
