Two prominent men stand in a stone temple corridor with carved pillars. The man on the left has long swept-back dark hair, wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over one shoulder, layered bead necklaces, bracelets and an armlet, and presses his palms together in anjali. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style adornment. Beside him, a shaved-headed elder in saffron with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace and white vibhuti marks on his forehead and chest speaks, with a red bead band on his head. Behind them, a man in saffron carries a tray of green leaves and flowers, and a man in white stands at the back.
