A second orange-robed figure stands behind. A framed portrait above shows a man in orange with a long mala and crown-like hair, with a red-and-white garland. Red-cushioned chair, brass lamp, fruit and bottles on a side table, white cushions on a stone shelf, and cane chairs. Floor mat reads partly in Tamil-style lettering. The orange-robed man in front has distinctive long hair and orange clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji in person.
