A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders, wearing a heavy multi-strand necklace of large gold beads. He has long swept-back dark hair, a small red dot on his forehead, and raises one hand in a gesture while smiling. Behind him is an ornate gold-embossed throne back with a carved deity panel, and a lit oil lamp flame glows at right. A gold-toned cushion rests beside him. Probable Swamiji: the long hair, saffron shawl and ornate gold necklace match the cues for the page's subject, seated in the role of teacher on a throne, and the label is based on these appearance cues. One person is visible.
