Indoor photo of a crowd in a plain whitewashed room with barred windows. A long-haired man in an orange saffron garment with a rudraksha mala stands at right, hands pressed together in namaste and smiling. Several people in white shirts and dhotis surround him, and a woman in a yellow sari with floral print and a woman in a red striped sari bow or kneel at the lower right, with a woman in the foreground with a flower in her hair. The orange-clad man has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron robes, a probable Swamiji by the page's appearance cues, though this is an appearance-based label rather than confirmed identity. Pale wall and window grilles in the background.

A crowd of devotees gathers in a plain white-walled room with a barred window at left. At centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron shawl over a bare upper body, with rudraksha malas around his neck, and presses his palms together in greeting. Around him, older men in white shirts and dhotis stand close, and a younger man in an orange wrap stands behind.

Swamiji (probable) appears in person at centre, given the saffron wrap, long hair and rudraksha malas. Other visible roles are devotees and attendees greeting him.2007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12January 12 20072007-01-12Indoor photo in a plain white-walled room with a barred window at left.
