Indoor photo in a room decorated with strings of red, white and orange marigold garlands hanging from the ceiling. A man with long dark hair in an orange saffron robe stands in a doorway with palms pressed together in a greeting, smiling. Two bare-chested priests with shaved heads and white sacred threads over their shoulders face him from the foreground, one holding a metal tray of red fruit or offerings. A red and white exit sign and a fire extinguisher are on the wall beside the grey door. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed man with long hair and a gold pendant necklace matches the page's account of the visit.
