Outdoor photo of a seated figure with long dark hair wearing an orange robe, a dark rudraksha mala and a long white flower garland with red and yellow blooms, seated on a flower-decorated white platform or palanquin. A devotee in orange robes kneels at left, bowing toward the seated figure. Behind them a multicoloured umbrella with blue, orange and white panels and tasselled fringe shelters the scene. Other people in white and orange clothing stand with hands folded among green trees and a hillside. The seated figure is identified by the page as Swamiji, but appearance cues are limited to the orange robe, rudraksha mala and long hair, so the identity is treated as probable.
