A photograph outdoors in front of a red-roofed building. A large dark black stone lingam-shaped sphere is decorated with a multicoloured flower garland in red, white, yellow, purple and green, with red petals scattered on top. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange-brown cloth draped over his shoulders, gold necklaces and a red bindi, stands on the left, smiling and holding red flowers. Beside him a shaved-headed man in orange wraps stands with a white forehead band and beaded necklaces. White railings and rocks are behind them, with red steps in the foreground. The man with long hair shows strong ceremonial cues and matches the page's a person claim, so he is labelled as a probable Swamiji depiction in person.
