Close photo of a man with long dark locks swept back, a red-brown vibhuti-style tilak on his forehead, and a thick beard, seated and gesturing with his right hand raised, eyes lowered. He wears a rust-red shawl over his shoulder, layered rudraksha malas and gold-toned beads around his neck and wrists. Behind him, a figure in a white kurta and orange shawl stands at left, and a gold-coloured ceremonial backdrop with a purple drape and brass lamps appears in the background. The visible man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by long hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold and saffron-toned clothing; he is presented as the speaker or ritual leader.
