Photograph of a crowded outdoor tent event with a smiling man at the centre wearing a maroon-red robe with a gold-edged saffron cloth, a long floral garland of white jasmine and red roses, and a dark beaded mala around his neck; he has long swept-back hair and a red bindi. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis and women in saris with flowers in their hair press around him, one man in a white shirt touching his arm. Bald monks in orange-brown robes stand nearby. Behind them, painted cloth backdrops show green landscape scenes and a rainbow-coloured canopy hangs overhead with banana leaves and hanging decorations. Swamiji (probable): the central figure with long swept-back hair, a maroon-saffron robe, a flower garland and a rudraksha mala fits the candidate cues, so the appearance matches but is not certain, and he is recorded as in_person.
