Five men walk together across a sandy courtyard in front of a tiled-roof building with wooden pillars. At the centre, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a yellow-and-white flower garland leads the group; the distinctive long swept-back hair and orange robe make him a probable Swamiji, so this is an in-person candidate. Flanking him are a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a glasses and a white-shirted elderly man in white dhoti, and two more bare-chested men in white dhotis.

Centre stands a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, a saffron-orange robe and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant; his hands are folded at his chest, and his cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji in person. To his left stands an older man in white dhoti and shirt, and at the far left and right are men bare-chested in white dhotis with sacred ash and tilaka on their foreheads; the man on the far right holds a leaf-wrapped offering. Another man in an orange shawl stands behind the right side, and a bespectacled man in a white shirt with a cross-shaped pendant stands beside the central figure's left shoulder.2006-11-10
