A photo of a long-haired man standing centrally in an orange saffron wrap with a dark rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, with a red tilak on his forehead and his face lifted upward. Behind him a woman in a white sari stands near the wall. Seated before him in rows are many people wearing white blindfold cloths over their eyes, some with hands joined in namaskar, including a woman in a yellow sari and a woman in red and orange. Behind them a wall hangs a large dark board with rows of numbers and a white banner at the top. Swamiji (probable): the standing central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's claim.
