A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi with white tilak on his forehead stands on a narrow street, wearing an orange robe and a large garland of orange marigolds, yellow flowers, white blossoms and red buds with clear beads. He holds up a long silver trident-like staff with his left hand. Behind him a man in a white kurta and white dhoti walks beside him. On the right, an older bearded man in white shirt and white dhoti with a tilak presses his hands together at his chest, a small device hanging at his waist. A white arched building and a blue sign reading Ganesh Guest House stand behind them. Probable Swamiji: the long hair, orange clothing and ceremonial garland are the cues here, and he is the central figure.
