Photograph of a seated man with swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti stripes and a red bindi, smiling while wearing a long rudraksha mala and a rust-red dhoti-style wrap with a gold-bordered hem. Behind him, ornate deity murtis are draped in yellow and red garlands against a green cloth. In the right foreground an older bald priest in a rust-red wrap and white-bordered dhoti applies a mark, while a figure in the lower foreground in a white and gold-bordered cloth is partly visible. The seated man has distinctive long hair, rudraksha beads and red-orange clothing; the page names Swamiji at this event, so the centre figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji seated in person. Four physical people are visible.
