A photograph in profile of a man with eyes closed, seated in front of a backdrop of gold trident-shaped objects wrapped with white garlands and red bands, and a dark blue curtain. He wears an orange-saffron shawl draped over his shoulders, a long gold-and-black bead necklace of ceremonial beads, and a red kumkum dot on his forehead. Behind him are arrangements of yellow, red and green flowers and a large gold decorative panel. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and ornate gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
