A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes at an outdoor temple gathering, with a tall silver-and-gold staff (trident-like) behind him. He wears long, curly dark hair, white ash markings on his forehead, a ceremonial gold necklace of large beads with a pendant, and gold bangles and a gold armlet on his upper arm. Around him, devotees sit in orange, red, and green-striped saris and white clothes, some with red kumkum and vibhuti marks, while blurred figures stand in the background. The seated man is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ornate gold adornments, sitting in a central position of honour among devotees.
