A photograph of a long, narrow hallway with white walls, tiled lower walls, barred windows and ceiling tube lights. A man in saffron-orange robes with an orange head wrap and a rudraksha mala, hands folded in namaste, walks forward at the centre, flanked by men in white dhotis and white shirts, some wearing orange shawls. On the right, a woman in a white sari with a maroon blouse stands near the wall. The description of the central figure as Swamiji is probable from appearance cues: long swept-back hair, orange head wrap, saffron robes and mala.
