Photograph of two men in a temple interior with a grey stone wall and a silver-backed seat at right. A man in a dark red-brown wrap and layered gold bead necklaces, with long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, rudraksha earrings and orange-beaded armbands, smiles broadly while raising one hand toward a second man. The second man has his palms pressed together in namaskar, a white forehead mark, white dhoti with gold border, rudraksha mala and a gold chain. Probable Swamiji is the man in dark red-brown wrap with the gold bead necklaces and swept-back hair; he is the one whose appearance matches the page's description. The scene reads as a temple blessing or greeting.

In the centre, a man in an orange saffron garment with a red-and-gold tilak and multiple rudraksha malas raises one palm toward an older man in a white shirt, who holds his hands together in greeting. Beside him, a monk in an orange robe holds a silver tray with flowers and offerings. Behind them, other men in white dhotis wear gold necklaces, and a bald man in a white garment stands at right.
