A photograph at night of two men standing side by side against a dark background with faint lights. The foreground man has long, swept-back dark wavy hair, wears a red bindi, an orange robe and a heavy ornate gold necklace of large beads, and gazes upward. Beside him a younger man in an orange robe with a red bindi and a dark red cloth draped over his shoulder also looks up. Probable Swamiji cues: long hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robe on the foreground man, appearance-based only; the scene suggests an outdoor evening gathering.
