Outdoors under a pale sky with flagpoles behind, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead smiles and holds a baby wrapped in orange cloth. He wears an orange robe and a heavy gold necklace of beaded links with a large gold pendant. The baby wears an orange turban with a red dot on the forehead and chews on a rudraksha-style bead bracelet. Behind them a man in white clothing and orange cloth watches, and a dry field stretches into the distance. a person: the man with long hair in orange robes and gold necklace matches the candidate cues, but the page says no Swamiji at this event, so identity is uncertain.
