On the right, a smiling man with long dark hair, a gold crown-band, red and white flower garlands and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace raises one hand in greeting; the person on the far right looks like Swamiji (probable), based on the long hair, crown, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. Beside him, an older man with a white-painted forehead, a red-and-white garland and dark rudraksha beads smiles. A bald man in orange with a gold chain and red forehead mark stands behind them, and a partly visible person is at the edge. The page lists the setting as a Kanchanoor temple visit, but nothing visible establishes that place.2012-05-16
