Close photo of a man in an orange saffron turban and orange robe, eyes closed and mouth open as if chanting, with a red kumkum dot on his forehead. He wears a long white and red flower garland and a ceremonial gold bead necklace with rudraksha-style gold beads. Long dark hair falls over his shoulders. Behind him a second man with closed eyes and hands folded in prayer stands among green foliage, with smoke drifting on the right and an orange and green tasselled canopy at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robe, long hair, gold necklace and flower garland are the qualifying cues for the central figure, who appears to be chanting or singing during a ceremony.
