Photograph of a ritual scene under a corrugated roof decorated with hanging mango leaves. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a red bindi stands centre, smiling, while white-clad priests in dhotis surround him. One priest holds a plate of yellow grains, another holds a brass tray with a small vessel, and a third carries a bunch of bananas. A white-robed man with a red-bordered shawl and a red-clothed attendant stand nearby. Kolam-style white patterns are drawn on the concrete floor. The central figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair and saffron robe, and is shown in person.
