A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a wrap with a dense gold ceremonial necklace and gold armband, holding a white sheet of paper and reading it while people gather around. Probable Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange clothing and heavy gold ceremonial ornaments, the cues for a presiding guru in this archive. Around him, a bald orange-robed devotee stands at left with rudraksha beads, a grey-haired man in white with a raised palm, a man in white with a mustache, and a shaved-headed man in white behind. Blurred onlookers fill a hall with a red curtain behind them.
