A photograph of a man with long dark hair wrapped high on his head and a bead-studded headpiece, wearing a crown-like silver tiara, layered garlands of pink lotus, white and red flowers, and gold and silver ornaments. He stands with palms pressed together in anjali, holding a pink lotus flower and a tall gold and silver staff topped with a silver trident-like finial. Rudraksha malas circle his wrists and neck. Behind him, a woman in a purple sari with a red bindi and a man in white ritual clothes stand in a temple hall with marigold strings and silver ritual vessels. Smoke or incense haze drifts around the scene. Swamiji (probable): the figure's long swept hair, crown-like headpiece, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha malas match the page's identification.
