A photograph inside a stone temple hall with polished floors and carved pillars. In the centre a smiling man in saffron-orange robes with gold borders walks forward, wearing a long gold-beaded garland, a red-and-white forehead band with white tilak, and red beaded bracelets on his arms. Behind him an attendant in an orange garment follows. On the right a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold border stands with hands folded, and several men in white dhotis stand along the left background near scaffolding and an arched doorway. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a gold necklace, matching the page's Swamiji mention, so his identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

Behind him a shaved-headed attendant in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala and gold-bordered cloth walks nearby, and two more figures in white clothing, along with a man in white shirt and trousers, move along the corridor. Stone pillars, carved stone panels, a scaffolding frame and an arched doorway with coloured trim fill the background, and a stack of folded cloth sits to the right. a person cues are the swept-back hair under the headband, saffron garb with gold border and the ornate gold garland, so the central figure is identified in desc as a person, a walking figure in saffron.2012-05-13 +1 copiesA photograph inside a stone-pillared temple hall with polished marble floors.
