Photograph of a crowded temple-side scene where a bearded man in an ochre-saffron robe and a long multicoloured flower garland stands at centre, smiling, with a long dark swept-back hair style and rudraksha-style beads at his neck. Around him devotees press in: a man in a white dhoti with gold border and a gold-trimmed shawl holds a small metal plate, and women in saris and gold necklaces stand nearby, with several men bearing white-and-red tilak marks on their foreheads. Swamiji (probable) appearance cues include the saffron robe, garland and long hair, placed in a crowd of devotees. Pale walls and a metal grille behind suggest a temple corridor.
