Photograph inside a temple corridor with a painted ceiling of concentric coloured circles. A tall man with long swept-back dark hair, a white tripundra forehead mark, a gold pendant and beaded necklaces, and saffron-orange robes with gold borders smiles while holding hands with an older bare-chested man wearing a gold-hued crown-like headpiece, white tripundra, multiple beaded malas and a gold pendant. Four to five men in saffron robes and malas walk alongside and a woman in a red sari stands behind them. Swamiji (probable): the taller man with long dark hair and saffron robes with rudraksha malas and a gold pendant appears to be the candidate, but this is an appearance-based label only.
