A photograph of a central figure with long dark hair and a white tilak on the forehead, wearing an orange-brown garment, rudraksha malas, gold chains and a large garland of white jasmine and red-yellow flowers. Around him, saffron-robed monastics with shaved heads and beaded malas hold and offer fruit from a red tray, while white-clad devotees in the background raise hands in greeting. The scene is a festive ceremonial reception in a decorated hall with maroon and gold drapery. The central figure has distinctive long hair, ornate gold jewellery and a flower garland, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.

In the foreground, a woman in an orange-and-white flower garland and rust-coloured garment kneels with folded hands before a wooden tray of offerings, while a man in a white shirt and spectacles stands beside her with palms joined. Behind them, several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha or gold neckwear, some with shaved heads, stand around the scene, and a man in a white shirt stands at the left edge. The setting resembles a padapuja or darshan line, with devotees offering respect at the feet of a teacher.2014-07-03 +1 copiesMarch 03 20132013-03-03 +1 copiesFebruary 24 20112011-02-24May 28 20132013-05-28A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with a red-and-white garland of red beads and silver bead accents, a long gold-bead necklace, and a rudraksha-style mala with a red tilak on his forehead, extending one hand in blessing toward devotees.
