A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-saffron garment, bare-chested with an orange shawl over one shoulder, wearing a thick red rose garland with yellow marigold strands and a white tilak on his forehead. He is accepting folded white papers from a man in a white shirt with grey hair who holds them out at left. Behind them a crowd stands in a hall with striped red, blue and yellow decorative pillars, and a second person in white with a shaved head is partly visible. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron-orange clothing and garland cues suggest the page's Swamiji, so the figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate. Other visible people are standing devotees.
