Photograph of a long-haired man in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe with a white tilak on his forehead and a red dot between the brows, smiling and looking downward as a hand reaches toward a child's head at lower left. Around him, several men stand close: one on the left in a blue collared shirt with a moustache, another behind him in a blue shirt, and a man in an orange top with a red bindi. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back dark hair, saffron robe and white forehead markings are presented as the appearance-based candidate, shown in person beside devotees at a public event. The background shows a red and white banner and blurred onlookers.2010-01-02January 02 20102010-01-02A photograph of a temple darshan setting.
