A photograph taken outdoors before a hillside of green trees. A man with long dark hair, wearing saffron-orange draped clothing and a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks across a striped red and white platform. Beside him stands a white and orange deity murti with a garland and a crown-like head ornament. Behind them rows of dark Shiva lingams sit on pedestals, with a small red-roofed building and a water tank further back. A small oil lamp and offering plate sit at the platform's edge. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, saffron garments and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
