Outdoor photo of a man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a red bindi and white tilak on his forehead, wearing a saffron-orange shawl draped over his body and a heavy gold necklace of bead-like links with a pendant. He walks with his eyes lowered, holding a long wooden pole over his shoulder. Behind him, a red and gold embroidered fringed umbrella is partly visible, and a white-clad figure stands at the edge of the frame. Blurred greenery and a dirt path form the background. The person has distinctive saffron clothing, long hair and ornate gold adornment, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
