Photograph inside an orange and white striped tent at a Hindu religious gathering. A man on the right with long swept-back dark hair wears white dhoti-style garments with gold borders, a gold chain and a silver ceremonial staff, and a beaded armlet on his upper arm; he looks down. In front of him, a figure with long dreadlocked hair, a peach-coloured turban and a gold ornament across the head kneels with palms pressed together and bangled wrists. Behind them, a bald man in saffron-orange robes and gold beaded necklaces stands, and several men in white and saffron clothing and devotees stand among the crowd, some holding up phones. A yellow flag hangs on the left.

The seated figure matches the page's Swamiji presence claim through a turban, rudraksha malas, saffron robe and ceremonial gold necklace, so he is described as Swamiji (probable). Behind him is a leopard-print cushion, red drapes, silver staffs and a brass urn at left, with a second person in orange at the left edge. The kneeling man wears a white sacred thread. The image is a photo of a ritual blessing moment.2018-03-24April 27 20162016-04-27August 09 20072007-08-09April 29 20162016-04-29A seated bare-chested figure with long dark hair tied back and a red headband with gold embroidery, wearing a red-orange waist cloth, a thick beaded rudraksha-style mala and gold bracelets, touches the chin of a man in a white kurta with a red-orange shawl who has his palms pressed together in namaskar.
