A photograph of a man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe draped over his shoulders, wearing a long garland of yellow, white and red flowers with green leaves that hangs down both sides of his body. He has a white tilak on his forehead and raises one hand in blessing as he smiles and looks down. To his left a man in a white shirt stands watching, a devotee in white dhoti with a red tilak stands at right with eyes lowered, and a sadhu with matted locks and rudraksha beads stands in the background under a stone archway with a carved pillar. The mood is a garlanding during a visit. Probable Swamiji is the central figure garlanded and blessing, shown by his distinctive appearance with long dark hair swept back, saffron-toned robe and garland cues.
