Outdoor photograph on a rocky, grassy hillside in the mountains. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange-red kurta, an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, stands on a rock with one arm raised and a thin rod or stick in his hand, smiling as he addresses a group. Several devotees sit below in orange shawls and saffron clothing, including a woman in a green top and dupatta, and a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl stands with his back to the camera. A figure in a yellow shirt stands at the left edge. The appearance of the central man with long hair, orange robes and rudraksha mala is a probable Swamiji candidate; he is seen physically in the scene, so the appearance is labelled Swamiji (probable).
