A man with long, swept-back black hair and a small red bindi stands before a carved wooden temple door framed by hanging marigold and yellow flower garlands. He wears an orange garment with a gold border draped over his shoulder, and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange clothing, gold necklace and marigold-garlanded doorway fit the page's description of an inauguration at the Ananda Rajarajeshwari Temple, Hyderabad, though the appearance cues are only partial. Photo shows a standing person smiling to one side. Printed date stamp reads 24 1 2006 along the left edge.
