A photograph taken under a corrugated metal shelter at an outdoor construction-style site with dirt ground, sacks, a blue bucket, a plastic chair and a water bottle in the foreground. A man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands at the centre with long dark hair, beside a group of men in white dhotis and orange shawls; a man in a yellow sari-style garment with a wrap stands at left. Another man in an orange turban-like wrap stands near the left edge. Behind them are a few low buildings and open land. The people are physical participants in the scene. Swamiji (probable): the central figure in the orange robe with rudraksha mala and long hair is an appearance-based candidate, though the image is not fully clear.
