In the centre, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a golden-yellow border and a rudraksha mala stands facing a shaven-headed man in similar saffron dhoti and mala, both appearing to converse. Women in orange saris and red shawls, a man in white, and visitors in white and colourful tunics surround them, some wearing lanyards.

In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a saffron-orange dhoti with gold borders, a large rudraksha mala around his neck, and an orange shawl, smiling as he walks forward in sandals. Beside him, a bald man in saffron cloth with an orange shawl and a wristband stands among others, and a row of devotees in white and red sashes, some with rudraksha malas, watch or walk around them. A child in white clothing is near the centre. The clear appearance cues of the central figure (long hair, saffron dhoti, large rudraksha mala) match a probable Swamiji presence, though the identification is appearance-based only.2013-07-14Outdoor photo on a bare dirt site under an overcast sky, with trees and buildings in the distance. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands center-left, his hair swept back, with a gold-coloured sash at his waist. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a mala stands at the right.

A young boy in a yellow shirt in the foreground wears an orange shawl and mala. Many participants wear lanyards and visitor badges.

A man in a white crocheted-style kufi-like cap and orange-clad attendants stand nearby, with trees and a white structure in the background.
