A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe and orange turban standing beside a white canvas tent on grass, with a long necklace of brown beads and gold ornaments. He leans toward a small ritual setup with a brass vessel, a brass ritual object and a white cloud of smoke rising from it. Behind him stand several people in light blue and white clothing, one woman wearing sunglasses, and a bald man in white is seen in the right foreground. The man in orange appears to be a probable Swamiji (probable) figure given his orange robe, orange turban, long hair and ornate bead and gold necklace, though his appearance is only partially clear.
