A photo of a procession-style walk on a red carpet under a pale draped canopy with warm lights. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark hair wears a white garment with gold border, a white and red flower garland, and a gold-coloured necklace with a large pendant. To his left, a shaven-headed man in saffron robes and a gold bead necklace walks alongside. To his right, a bearded man in saffron robes with a gold bead necklace and a wristwatch gestures with one hand. Behind them stand people in white dhotis, a woman in a red sari with gold border, and a man in a cream kurta. The central man has long swept-back hair and a gold necklace, and a page label names him as Swamiji, so his appearance is treated as a probable match.
