A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe, wearing layered garlands of white jasmine, red roses and blue-white flowers, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a large gold pendant. The figure sits before ornate gold carved throne-like furnishings with a leopard-print cushion, eyes closed and smiling, while a hand rests on the head of a person in white kneeling in the foreground. Another person's arm is visible behind. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rust-red turban, ornate gold pendant and garlands are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, but the appearance is not fully certain. The person kneeling with a hand placed on the head suggests blessing or a darshan moment.
