A photograph of a figure in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and a red forehead mark, waving his right hand as he walks through a doorway. Beside him a man in white kurta and white dhoti wears a rudraksha mala and holds a small object. On the right a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands close. Behind them saffron-clad attendants, a young child in red on the left, and a woman in a green sari at the right edge. Marigold garlands hang along the doorway. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-robed central figure has long swept-back hair, gold necklace and rudraksha-style adornment, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
