A photograph of a seated man in a rust-brown robe at the centre of a thatched-roofed stage decorated with green leaves and hanging bells. He wears a long beard, a gold ornate necklace and gold bracelets, and holds a large garland of pink and white flowers in both hands. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti with multiple arms within a large wooden wheel. Several people in saffron-orange garments sit with their backs to the camera on the left and right, some with palms joined in prayer, and women with long braided hair and rudraksha malas are visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure has long swept-back hair, a beard, gold ornamental necklace and a rust-brown robe.
