A photograph of a smiling man with long, swept-back black hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange sleeveless garment and a long rudraksha mala. He raises one hand in greeting while holding a folded white paper in the other, surrounded by a crowd of devotees with pressed palms and white garments. Behind him are tall orange and red decorated pillars and a banner. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, orange ornate clothing and rudraksha mala, with the greeting gesture indicating a visiting leader. The scene appears to be an indoor public gathering.
