The man on the right wears a teal-green silk shawl with gold border over an orange dhoti, a white jasmine garland with red roses, a rudraksha mala, and a gold chest ornament; he has a red-and-white forehead marking and a gold-toned crown-like headband. The man on the left wears an orange cloth over one shoulder, a rudraksha mala, a gold pendant, and white tilak markings. Several other people are visible in the dim background. A small sign is mounted on the right wall. Swamiji (probable) is the man on the right, identified by his distinctive crown, garland, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments.
