The man on the left wears an orange turban, long dark hair, an orange shawl, a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, and an ornate gold waist belt over orange cloth, and he raises one hand in greeting. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange robes wears a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered dhoti. Around them devotees stand, some with hands folded in anjali, a man in white dhoti and brown vest, and a bowing man in grey top and white dhoti at lower left. Probable Swamiji is the man on the left, identified by the turban, flowing hair, gold necklace and saffron robes.
