A photo of a bearded man with long, dark, dreadlocked hair standing barefoot on wet red and grey stone steps. He wears a rust-orange sannyasi wrap draped over one shoulder and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. Behind him, a grey stone platform rises, and at the top edge a person in orange clothing is partially visible beside a dark stone base with yellow powder scattered on it. The page is said to cover a Skanda Shasti Deepavali satsang, but the image shows only this single figure beside temple steps. The figure's long dark hair, orange robe and red forehead mark are visible cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
