Night photograph of a man in an orange-brown draped garment and a long rudraksha mala, holding a small ornate gold vessel up toward his face, as if pouring or offering. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him, blurred figures in orange and white stand near a dim vehicle, and a woman in orange with glasses smiles to the right. A green-topped object is visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) is shown in appearance-based terms: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange draped clothing, performing a ritual action with a gold vessel.
