A photograph of a man walking along a dirt path through green forest. He wears a sleeveless saffron-orange wrap garment draped over his body and orange cloth around the lower body, with a long rudraksha mala of brown beads around his neck and sandals on his feet. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders and he holds a wooden staff in one hand. Behind him follow several people: a woman in a yellow kurta with a white scarf and glasses, a woman in red trousers, a woman in a pink top, and others in white clothing. The man's appearance, with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, matches the Swamiji (probable) profile in this archive photograph, which is a walking procession-style scene.
